Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food science and technology, specifically, it relates to a wonton wrapper cutting and conveying mechanism and a wonton machine. Background Technology

[0002] Food forming machinery is widely used in the production of various pasta, pastries, etc. Filling machines are specifically designed for producing various filled foods. Filled foods generally consist of an outer wrapper and an inner filling. Due to differences in filling materials and methods of wrapper preparation and shaping, there are many types of filling machines. Wonton machines are one type of filling machine. Wontons, as a popular traditional food, have a large consumer base. However, manual wonton making is inefficient, results in inconsistent appearance of the finished wontons, and uneven filling supply, affecting the consumer's eating experience. Therefore, using wonton machines to make wontons has become the mainstream method.

[0003] During the processing of wontons, dry flour and scraps can accumulate between the wonton wrappers. As the wonton wrappers move between adjacent workstations, these dry flour and scraps can easily fall into the wonton wrapper conveying equipment, causing problems such as jamming.

[0004] Therefore, developing a wonton wrapper cutting and conveying mechanism and a wonton machine that can automatically produce wontons and prevent jamming during the conveying process is an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a wonton wrapper cutting and conveying mechanism and a wonton machine, which can realize the automatic production of wontons and is less prone to jamming during the conveying of wonton wrappers.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0008] A synchronous conveying unit includes two conveying rollers and a synchronous belt assembly, the synchronous belt assembly being fitted over the two conveying rollers, the synchronous belt being configured to be driven by the conveying rollers; the conveying rollers are configured to form a plurality of through passages extending radially thereon.

[0009] A wrapper-cutting mechanism, comprising a transverse wrapper-cutting section, which includes multiple cutting components. The cutting components extend along the width direction of the timing belt, and the multiple cutting components are spaced apart circumferentially along the timing belt. The cutting components are used to cut wonton wrappers.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, synchronous belt drive portions are formed at both ends of the conveying roller along the axial direction;

[0011] The synchronous belt assembly includes two sub-synchronous belts and a support platform. The two sub-synchronous belts are respectively engaged with the synchronous belt drive parts on both sides of the two conveying rollers for transmission.

[0012] The two ends of the cutting component are respectively connected to the two sub-synchronous belts, and the cutting component moves with the two sub-synchronous belts;

[0013] The support platform is embedded between the two sub-synchronous belts, and is configured to provide auxiliary support for the wontons and wonton wrappers during the process of the cutting component driving the wontons and wonton wrappers to move.

[0015] The micro-connector is configured to avoid the wonton wrapper while the cutting component is cutting the wonton wrapper.

[0016] The micro-connector is configured to avoid the area near the end of the wonton wrapper in the width direction.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the cutting assembly further includes a skin-supporting and blade-protecting component, which extends along the support side of the first skin-cutting component and is connected to the sub-synchronous belt. The skin-supporting and blade-protecting component is used to support the cut wonton skin.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the transverse cutting portion further includes a mating first cutting component, and the synchronous belt assembly drives a plurality of first cutting components to move until the plurality of first cutting components move to a corresponding position below the mating first cutting component, and the mating first cutting component moves downward to mate with the first cutting component to cut the sub-skin.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, a downward-facing groove is formed on the mating first cutting member;

[0020] The micro-connection is formed in a U-shaped opening on the cutting side of the first skin-cutting component;

[0021] The first cutting component moves vertically downwards to press the wonton wrapper between the cutting sides of the first cutting component;

[0022] When the first cutting component does not have a U-shaped opening that aligns with the groove, the wonton wrapper at the corresponding position is cut.

[0023] With the U-shaped opening on the first cutting component aligned with the groove, the wonton wrappers at the corresponding positions are connected.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the cutting mechanism further includes a longitudinal cutting section for cutting wonton wrappers along the conveying direction of the wonton wrappers, and the longitudinal cutting section is disposed at the input end of the synchronous conveying section along the conveying direction of the wonton wrappers.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the longitudinal cutting section includes a dough feeding roller and a dough feeding brush cutting roller;

[0026] The feeding brush cutting roller includes a plurality of second cutting components and a plurality of brushes. The plurality of second cutting components are spaced apart along their axial direction, and brushes are arranged between adjacent second cutting components.

[0027] The flour feeding brush cutting roller is located above the flour feeding roller;

[0028] The dough sheet conveying device conveys wonton dough sheets between the conveying roller and the conveying brush cutting roller. The conveying roller and the conveying brush cutting roller are configured to rotate in opposite directions. While the conveying roller and the brush are rotating to convey the dough sheets to the synchronous conveying unit, a plurality of second dough sheet cutting components cut the dough sheets along the conveying direction of the dough sheets.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the number of the second cutting component is one, the brush is disposed on both sides of the longitudinal cutting portion, and the second cutting component is configured to cut the dough into two sub-doughs along the conveying direction of the synchronous conveying portion; the cutting component is configured to cut the sub-doughs in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the synchronous conveying portion to form wonton wrappers;

[0035] The cutting station of the transverse cutting section, the filling feeding section, the turning section, and the wrapping and pressing mechanism are arranged sequentially and at intervals above the synchronous conveying section along the conveying direction of the wonton skin.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0037] By using two conveyor rollers to drive the synchronous belt assembly, the accuracy of the wonton skin transportation pace is improved. By creating a through-passage in the radial direction inside the conveyor rollers, it is possible for dough scraps, dry flour, etc., to easily enter between the conveyor rollers and the synchronous belt assembly during the synchronous conveying process, which could easily cause jamming between the two. By creating a through-passage in the radial direction of the conveyor rollers, dough scraps or dry flour can fall out of the synchronous conveying section through the through-passage, thus solving the problem of jamming between the conveyor rollers and the synchronous belt.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, a wonton machine is disclosed, comprising a synchronous conveying unit 100, a wrapper cutting mechanism 200, a filling feeding unit 300, a wrapper turning unit 400, a wrapper pressing and wrapping mechanism 500, and a control mechanism.

[0064] The synchronous conveying unit 100 extends horizontally, and the direction of extension of the synchronous conveying unit 100 is the conveying direction of the wontons and wonton wrappers.

[0065] The dough cutting mechanism 200 includes a transverse cutting section and a longitudinal cutting section 220. The transverse cutting section and the longitudinal cutting section 220 cut the dough in the transverse and longitudinal directions respectively, so that the dough is formed into square wonton wrappers.

[0066] The cutting direction of the longitudinal cutting section 220 is the same as the conveying direction. The cutting direction of the transverse cutting section is perpendicular to the conveying direction.

[0067] Specifically, the longitudinal cutting section 220 is located at the dough input position of the synchronous conveying section 100.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the transverse slicing section includes multiple cutting components 210. The cutting components 210 extend along the width direction of the synchronous conveying section; that is, the extension direction of the cutting components 210 is the cutting direction of the transverse slicing section. The multiple cutting components 210 are spaced apart circumferentially along the synchronous conveying section 100.

[0069] After the dough is cut into sub-dough sheets by the longitudinal cutting section 220, the sub-dough sheets are cut into square wonton wrappers by the transverse cutting section 210. The wonton wrappers are supported on two adjacent cutting components 210. The synchronous conveying section 100 provides auxiliary support for the wonton wrappers from below. As the two adjacent cutting components 210 move with the synchronous conveying section 100, they support the wonton wrappers and move them to the next process.

[0070] The filling delivery unit 300 is used to deliver filling to the cut wonton wrappers. The filling delivery unit 300 is located above the synchronous conveying unit 100 and moves downwards to deliver filling to the wonton wrappers below the filling delivery unit 300.

[0071] To provide support for the filling section 300, the wonton machine also includes a vertical support frame 710.

[0072] To support the synchronous conveying unit 100, the dough cutting mechanism 200, the filling feeding unit 300, the dough turning unit 400, the dough pressing and wrapping mechanism 500, and the control mechanism, the wonton machine also includes a frame 720.

[0073] A vertical support frame 710 is mounted on the frame 720. The vertical support frame 710 spans vertically above the synchronous conveyor section 100.

[0074] The filling feeding unit 300 is connected to the vertical support frame 710, and the output end of the filling feeding unit 300 moves vertically relative to the vertical support frame 710.

[0075] A filling cylinder 310 is provided for storing the filling. A filling tube 320 is provided for conveying the filling from the filling cylinder 310 to the filling delivery section 300.

[0076] The pressing plate 330 can be moved onto the filling tube to press against the filling tube 320, thereby ensuring that a certain amount of filling is stored in the filling tube 320.

[0077] A filling outlet 340 is formed on the filling section 300. The filling tube 320 transports the filling to the filling section 300 and outputs it from the filling outlet 340. The output end of the filling section 300 cuts off the filling output from the filling outlet 340, so that the filling falls onto the wonton wrapper.

[0078] Specifically, the output end of the filling feeding section 300 can be equipped with a filling cutter 350, which cuts the filling from the filling outlet 340.

[0079] The filling cutter 350 has a hollow section 351. The hollow section 351 is used to reduce the amount of filling sticking to the filling cutter 350 during the filling cutting process.

[0080] When the filling delivery unit 300 moves to the wonton wrapper, it delivers filling to the wonton wrapper. Then, the filling delivery unit 300 moves in the opposite direction and rises.

[0081] The wonton wrappers containing the filling are supported by two cutting components 210 and moved along the conveying direction to the turning section 400.

[0082] The folding section 400 is embedded in the synchronous conveying section 100, and the two cutting components 210 support the wonton wrappers carrying the filling and move them to the folding section 400. The folding section 400 folds the wonton wrappers carrying the filling so that the wonton wrappers cover the filling from both sides.

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, to prevent the wonton wrapper from being pressed firmly onto the synchronous conveyor 100 and difficult to move after being folded by the folding part 400, the folding part 400 includes an ejector part 410. The ejector part 410 can move upward relative to the synchronous conveyor 100 to lift the folded wonton wrapper and remove it from the synchronous conveyor 100, thereby facilitating the cutting component 210 to push the folded wonton to the pressing and wrapping mechanism 500 for pressing and wrapping.

[0084] To prevent over-folding of the wonton wrappers during the folding process of the folding section 400, the folding section 400 also includes a first auxiliary pressing component 420. The wonton wrappers are conveyed by the synchronous conveying section 100 to the folding section 400 below the first auxiliary pressing component 420, which is the work position of the folding section 400. The lower end of the first auxiliary pressing component 420 contacts the wonton wrapper and presses it lightly.

[0085] Specifically, the lower end of the first auxiliary pressing component 420 contacts the middle of the wonton wrapper along the conveying direction, so that when the flipping part 400 flips the wonton wrapper, it lightly presses the middle of the lower end of the first auxiliary pressing component 420, that is, lightly presses the part of the wonton wrapper to be bent, thereby avoiding the situation where the wonton wrapper is over-folded during the flipping process, and avoiding problems such as inconsistent shape of the final wonton.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the first auxiliary pressing component 420 may be in the form of a brush.

[0087] In some other embodiments, the first auxiliary pressing component 420 may also be in the form of removable silicone.

[0088] Specifically, the first auxiliary pressing component 420 includes a silicone part, an opening, and a clamping part. The silicone part is inserted into the opening, and the clamping part clamps the opening, thereby realizing the installation of the silicone part. When the silicone part is worn or has other problems, the silicone part can be removed from the opening by removing the clamping part and then replaced.

[0089] To prevent wrinkles from forming on the wonton wrappers during the pressing process, the edges of the folded wrappers should be gently pressed. Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the pressing part also includes a second auxiliary pressing component 513, the end of which is lightly pressed against the folded edge.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, the second auxiliary pressing component 513 may be in the form of a brush.

[0091] In some other embodiments, the second auxiliary pressing component 513 may also be in the form of removable silicone.

[0092] Specifically, the second auxiliary pressing component 513 includes a silicone part 5131, an opening 5132, and a clamping part 5133. The silicone part is inserted into the opening, and the clamping part clamps the opening, thereby realizing the installation of the silicone part. When the silicone part is worn or has other problems, the silicone part can be removed from the opening by removing the clamping part and then disassembled and replaced.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 8As shown, the synchronous conveying unit 100 includes two conveying rollers 110 and a synchronous belt assembly, which is fitted over the two conveying rollers 110. To achieve synchronous transmission of the conveying rollers 110 with respect to the synchronous belt assembly, synchronous belt drive sections 111 are formed at both ends of the conveying rollers 110. The synchronous belt assembly includes two sub-synchronous belts 121. The two sub-synchronous belts 121 respectively engage with the synchronous belt drive sections 111 on both sides of the two conveying rollers 110.

[0094] Specifically, the synchronous belt drive unit 111 consists of multiple drive rods spaced circumferentially along the end of the conveyor roller 110, and the multiple drive rods cooperate with the sub-synchronous belt 121 in sequence.

[0095] During the cyclic operation of the synchronous belt assembly driven by the conveyor roller 110, scraps of wonton wrappers and dry flour can easily fall between the conveyor roller 110 and the sub-synchronous belt 121, causing abnormal transmission problems such as jamming. Therefore, the conveyor roller 110 is configured to form several through-passages 112 extending in its radial direction. This allows scraps of wonton wrappers and dry flour to fall outside the conveyor roller 110 through the through-passages 112, thereby preventing jamming between the sub-synchronous belt 121 and the conveyor roller 110.

[0096] Specifically, the synchronous belt drive unit 111 adopts a method of arranging multiple drive rods circumferentially at intervals, thereby forming multiple through-paths 112 between the multiple drive rods, so that wonton skin scraps and dry flour can enter the through-paths 112 and fall out of the through-paths 112 as the conveying roller 110 rotates.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, the transverse cutting section is used to cut the wonton wrappers, and the cutting assembly 210 includes a first wrapper cutting component 211. The supporting side of the first wrapper cutting component 211 is connected between two sub-synchronous belts 121 along the width direction of the synchronous conveying section 100.

[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of micro-connecting portions 2111 are formed on the cutting side of the first peeling component 211. The plurality of micro-connecting portions 2111 are spaced apart on the cutting side of the first peeling component 211.

[0099] When the first cutting component 211 cuts the sub-skin after it has been cut by the longitudinal cutting portion 220, the micro-connecting portion 2111 can avoid the skin, so that the skin before and after the first cutting component 211 is micro-connected.

[0100] In some embodiments of this application, the micro-connection 2111 is a V-shaped notch formed on the first skin cutting component 211.

[0101] In some other embodiments of this application, the micro-connection 2111 is a U-shaped notch formed on the first skin cutting component 211.

[0102] Specifically, the micro-connection 2111 is located near the end of the wonton wrapper in the width direction.

[0103] In some embodiments of this application, in order to achieve the function of cutting wonton wrappers, the cutting assembly 210 further includes a first cutting component 212 that engages with the first cutting component 211 that has been moved to its corresponding position, thereby achieving the lateral cutting of the wonton wrappers and forming wonton wrappers.

[0104] The synchronous belt assembly drives multiple first cutting components 211 to move. When any one of the first cutting components 211 moves to the corresponding position below the first cutting component 212, the first cutting component 212 moves downward to align with the first cutting component, so as to cut the dough and form a wonton wrapper.

[0105] A downward-facing groove 2121 extends from the first peeling component 212. During the process of aligning the first peeling component 212 with the first peeling component 211, the first peeling component 212 is inserted into the groove 2121 until the first peeling component 212 is pressed into the groove 2121.

[0106] When the first cutting component 211 is not provided with a V-shaped opening or a U-shaped opening and is engaged with the groove 2121, the wonton wrapper at the corresponding position is cut.

[0107] When the first cutting component 211 has a V-shaped opening or no U-shaped opening and is engaged with the groove 2121, the wonton wrappers at the corresponding positions are connected.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to support the movement of the wonton wrapper, the horizontal cutting part of the cutting assembly 210 also includes a wrapper-supporting and knife-protecting component 213. The wrapper-supporting and knife-protecting component 213 extends along the support side of the first cutting component 212 and can play an auxiliary support role for the first cutting component 212, so as to prevent the first cutting component 212 from deforming due to the force during the cutting of the wrapper.

[0109] In addition, the skin-supporting and knife-protecting component 213, which extends horizontally, can support the edge of the wonton skin.

[0110] The two ends of the skin protector 213 are connected to two sub-synchronous belts 121 respectively.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the longitudinal cutting section 220 includes a dough feeding roller 221 and a dough feeding brush cutting roller;

[0112] The feeding brush cutting roller includes a plurality of second cutting components 222 and a plurality of brushes. The plurality of second cutting components 222 are spaced apart along their axial direction, and brushes are arranged between adjacent second cutting components 222.

[0113] The flour conveying brush cutting roller is located above the flour conveying roller 221;

[0114] The dough conveying device conveys the wonton dough to the space between the dough conveying roller 221 and the dough conveying brush cutting roller. The dough conveying roller 221 and the dough conveying brush cutting roller are configured to rotate in opposite directions. While the dough conveying roller 221 and the brush are rotating to convey the dough to the synchronous conveying unit 100, a plurality of second dough cutting components 222 cut the dough along the conveying direction of the dough.

[0115] In some embodiments of this application, there is one second dough cutting component 222, and brushes are disposed on both sides of the second dough cutting component 222. The second dough cutting component 222 is configured to cut the dough into two sub-dough pieces along the conveying direction of the synchronous conveying unit 100. The cutting component 210 is configured to cut the sub-dough pieces in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the synchronous conveying unit 100 to form wonton wrappers.

[0116] In some other embodiments of this application, there are multiple second cutting components 222. The second cutting components 222 located on both sides are used to cut the two side edges of the dough, and the second cutting component 222 located in the middle is configured to cut the dough into multiple sub-dough pieces along the conveying direction of the synchronous conveying unit 100. The cutting assembly 210 is configured to cut the sub-dough pieces in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the synchronous conveying unit 100 to form wonton wrappers.

[0117] The timing belt assembly also includes a support platform 122. The support platform 122 is embedded between the two sub-timing belts 121. During the process of the cutting component 210 supporting the movement of the wonton wrapper and pushing the wonton wrapper, the support platform 122 provides auxiliary support for the wonton wrapper and the wonton.

[0118] The wonton wrapper containing the filling, obtained by folding, is moved along the support platform 122 by the cutting component 210 to the subsequent pressing and wrapping mechanism 500.

[0119] In some embodiments of this application, the pressing and wrapping mechanism 500 includes a pressing part and a wrapping part. The pressing part is used to press the overlapping areas on both sides of the wonton skin formed after the turning part 400 turns the skin over, so as to press the two layers of wonton skin firmly, and the wrapping part is used to wrap the wonton.

[0120] The longitudinal cutting section 220, the filling section 300, the turning section 400, and the pressing and wrapping mechanism 500 are arranged sequentially and at intervals above the synchronous conveying section 100 along the conveying direction of the wonton skin.

[0121] The pressing section includes a pressing assembly and an auxiliary support assembly. The auxiliary support assembly is located below the pressing assembly.

[0122] The pressing component is connected to the vertical support frame 710 and is configured to move vertically relative to the vertical support frame 710.

[0123] The auxiliary support component is embedded within the synchronous conveying unit 100. Specifically, the auxiliary support component is recessed into the support platform 122.

[0124] When a wonton wrapper containing filling is folded and moved along the support platform 122 to the auxiliary support component by the cutting component 210, the pressing component is configured to press the overlapping wonton wrappers together while pushing the auxiliary support component to move in the vertical direction, thereby achieving the pressing of the overlapping wonton wrappers.

[0125] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the pressing assembly includes a limiting block 5111 and a pressure plate 5112.

[0126] The limiting block 5111 is connected to the vertical support frame 710. The limiting block 5111 can move relative to the synchronous conveying part 100 in the vertical direction with the vertical support frame 710 so that the limiting block 5111 can approach the wonton skin containing the filling after pressing.

[0127] Without external forces, the limiting block 5111 can move downward with the vertical support frame 710. When the limiting block 5111 touches the synchronous conveying part 100 located below, the limiting block 5111 stops moving. The vertical support frame 710 drives the pressure plate 5112 to continue moving downward until the end of the pressure plate 5112 contacts the wonton skin located on the auxiliary support assembly and presses the folded wonton skin. The vertical support frame 710 and the pressure plate 5112 then stop moving downward.

[0128] Specifically, in order to ensure that the limiting block 5111 can limit and protect the pressing plate 5112 while ensuring that the limiting block 5111 will not interfere with the pressing plate 5112 during the pressing of the wonton skin, a protrusion 5113 is provided on the end of the limiting block 5111. During the movement of the limiting block 5111 towards the synchronous conveying unit 100, the protrusion 5113 contacts the synchronous conveying unit 100 before the pressing plate 5112 contacts the wonton skin.

[0129] Specifically, in order to ensure that the vertical support frame 710 can still move downwards after the protrusion 5113 stops moving downwards after contacting the synchronous conveying unit 100, a transverse support beam 711 is provided on the vertical support frame 710. A through hole 712 in the vertical direction is opened on the transverse support beam 711. A moving rod 5115 extending in the vertical direction is connected to the limiting pressure block 511. The limiting pressure block 511 is connected to the lower end of the moving rod 5115. A stop block 5116 is connected to the upper end of the moving rod 5115. The middle part of the moving rod 5115 passes through the through hole 712. When the protrusion 5113 is not in contact with the synchronous conveying unit 100, the limiting block 5111, due to gravity, causes the stop block 5116 to abut against the transverse support beam 711, thus suspending the limiting block 5111 below the transverse support beam 711. The transverse support beam 711 can then drive the limiting block 5111 to move up and down vertically. After the protrusion 5113 contacts the synchronous conveying unit 100, the limiting block 5111 stops moving downward, and the moving rod 5115 moves upward relative to the transverse support beam 711.

[0130] A limiting passage 5117 is formed vertically on the limiting block 5111. The pressing plate 5112 passes through the limiting passage 5117. When the limiting block 5111 moves to the target position relative to the synchronous conveying unit 100, the pressing plate 5112 moves vertically relative to the limiting passage 5117 until the end of the pressing plate 5112 presses against the overlapping wonton skin after folding, so as to press the two layers of wonton skin firmly and realize the pinching of the wonton skin at this point.

[0131] To reduce deformation of the pressure plate 5112 during the pressing of wonton wrappers, an elastic part is connected inside the limiting passage 5113. The upper end of the elastic part is connected to the inner wall of the limiting passage 5117, and the lower end of the elastic part abuts against the pressure plate 5112. Since the elastic part is elastically supported on the pressure plate 5112, the bending resistance of the pressure plate 5112 is enhanced.

[0132] During the process of pressing the two layers of wonton wrappers together by the pressure plate 5112, the elastic part is configured to push the pressure plate 5112 to prevent the pressure plate 5112 from bending.

[0133] As the pressure plate 5112 moves upward relative to the elastic part, the end of the elastic part abuts against the pushing pressure plate 5112, and the end of the elastic part is configured to remove wonton skin impurities from the pressure plate 5112.

[0134] Since the auxiliary support assembly can move vertically relative to the support platform 122, the pressure plate 5112 experiences a large force during the process of contacting the wonton wrapper and pushing the auxiliary support assembly vertically through the wonton wrapper. The pressure plate 5112 is prone to deformation. Therefore, a push rod 5114 is connected vertically to the vertical support frame 710. When the lower end of the pressure plate 5112 is in contact with and pressing the wonton wrapper, the lower end of the push rod 5114 contacts the auxiliary support assembly and pushes the auxiliary support assembly downward. At the same time, the pressure plate 5112 presses against the wonton wrapper and simultaneously pushes the auxiliary support assembly downward.

[0135] The auxiliary support assembly includes a lifting support component 5121, an auxiliary enclosing component 5122, and an elastic support component 5123. The lifting support component 5121 has multiple through holes 5124 along the vertical direction. The upper end of the auxiliary enclosing component 5122 passes through these through holes 5124. The lifting support component 5121 moves vertically relative to the auxiliary enclosing component 5122. During this movement, the elastic support component 5123 provides elastic support to the lifting support component 5121. When the pressure plate 5112 and the push rod 5114 push the lifting support component 5121 downwards, the elastic support component 5123 elastically deforms. When the pressure plate 5112 and the push rod 5114 release their downward force on the lifting support component 5121, the elastic support component 5123 pushes the lifting support component 5121 upwards to its reset position.

[0136] When the pressure plate 5112 and the push rod 5114 push the lifting support component 5121 to move downward to the target position, the wrapping part starts to work and wraps the pressed wonton.

[0137] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the enclosing part includes a first rotating enclosing component 521, a second rotating enclosing component 522, and a pinching component 523.

[0138] When the lifting support component 5121 is lowered to the target height relative to the auxiliary wrapping component 5122, the first rotating wrapping component 521 and the second rotating wrapping component 522 rotate to the two sides of the wonton wrapper containing the filling above the lifting support component 5121. During the forward rotation of the first rotating wrapping component 521 relative to the side of the wonton wrapper containing the filling, it pushes one edge of the folded wonton wrapper to bend towards the side of the wonton wrapper containing the filling. During the reverse rotation of the second rotating wrapping component 522 relative to the side of the wonton wrapper containing the filling, it pushes the other edge of the folded wonton wrapper to bend towards the side of the wonton wrapper containing the filling.

[0139] The pinching component 523 presses the overlapping edge of one side of the bent wonton wrapper onto the auxiliary wrapping component 5122 to pinch the edge of the wonton wrapper together. This achieves the pressing and sealing of the wonton.

[0140] Specifically, while the first rotating wrapping component 521 is rotating to bend one side of the wonton wrapper, the second rotating wrapping component 522 rotates.

[0141] The end of the first rotating wrapping member 521 that contacts the wonton skin has a bent portion 5211, which bends toward the auxiliary wrapping member 5122. The end of the second rotating wrapping member 522 that contacts the wonton skin is located on the side of the bent portion 5211 away from the auxiliary wrapping member 5122.

[0142] After the wontons are formed by the above-mentioned packaging, the cutting component 210 pushes the wontons to move relative to the support platform 122, and transports the wontons to the subsequent wonton transport equipment.

[0143] In some embodiments of this application, in order to achieve sequential control of the above-mentioned components and to form the wonton, the control mechanism needs to coordinate the start and stop control of the above-mentioned synchronous conveying unit 100, the skin cutting mechanism 200, the filling feeding unit 300, the skin turning unit 400, and the skin pressing and wrapping mechanism 500.

[0144] The control mechanism includes a divider 610, a drive motor 620, multiple cylinders, and a rotary sensing cooperative controller.

[0145] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the rotary sensing cooperative controller includes a rotating part 650, a detachable connecting part, and a sensing part 660.

[0146] A plurality of mounting positions 651 are formed on the rotating part 650. The mounting positions 651 are opened around the circumference of the rotating part 650, and the plurality of mounting positions 651 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating part 650.

[0147] Rotary inductive co-controllers also include proximity switches.

[0148] The sensing unit 660 is used to sense the proximity switch. There are multiple sensing units 660, and the multiple sensing units 660 are detachably connected to multiple mounting positions 651 through detachable connecting parts.

[0149] Specifically, the mounting position 651 is an annular groove opened along the circumference of the rotating part 650, and an annular protrusion 652 is formed between adjacent annular grooves.

[0150] Specifically, the sensing part 660 is an arc-shaped slider.

[0151] The arc-shaped slider can be aligned with the annular groove. The arc-shaped slider can move along the annular groove to adjust the relative position of the arc-shaped slider with respect to the annular groove, thereby adjusting the sensing connection time between the arc-shaped slider and the proximity switch, and thus controlling the start or stop time of each functional component.

[0152] When the arc-shaped slider moves to the target position, the detachable connection is used to lock the relative position of the arc-shaped slider and the annular groove.

[0153] Multiple connection holes are provided on the annular protrusion 652 along its circumference, and the detachable connection part includes multiple connectors 671.

[0154] Specifically, the sensing unit 660 can be made of metal arc-shaped slider.

[0155] Specifically, the length of the sensing unit 660 can be selected as needed. Multiple sensing units 660 can be designed with different lengths to meet the requirements of each process cycle.

[0156] Specifically, the connecting hole is a threaded hole formed on the annular protrusion 652. Correspondingly, the connecting part 671 is a bolt.

[0157] When the arc-shaped slider moves to the target position relative to the annular groove, and the bolt is screwed into the threaded hole, the bolt presses the arc-shaped slider into the annular groove.

[0158] When the position of the arc-shaped slider needs to be adjusted, loosen the bolt relative to the threaded hole, move the arc-shaped slider relative to the arc-shaped groove, and when it is readjusted to the target position, tighten the bolt relative to the threaded hole.

[0159] In other embodiments of this application, the rotary inductive cooperative controller also includes a solenoid valve.

[0160] The proximity switch is electrically connected to the solenoid valve.

[0161] The solenoid valve is connected to the cylinder via an air pipe.

[0162] The drive motor 620 drives the rotating part 650 to rotate, and the rotating part 650 drives the sensing part 660 to rotate. When the sensing part 660 rotates to the corresponding proximity switch, the sensing part 660 is electrically connected to the proximity switch. The proximity switch controls the cylinder through the solenoid valve. When the sensing part 660 rotates to the position away from the proximity switch, the proximity switch controls the cylinder through the solenoid valve.

[0163] The multiple cylinders are respectively defined as cylinder 1, cylinder 2, cylinder 3, cylinder 4, cylinder 5, cylinder 6, cylinder 7, and cylinder 8.

[0164] The first cylinder is used to drive the filling feeding part to move vertically relative to the vertical support frame;

[0165] The second cylinder is used to drive the ejector component.

[0166] The third cylinder is used to drive the flipping section to flip the wonton wrappers;

[0167] The fourth cylinder is used to drive the vertical support frame to move vertically.

[0168] The fifth cylinder is used to drive the kneading component.

[0169] The sixth cylinder is used to drive the first rotating engagement component to move;

[0170] The seventh cylinder is used to drive the second rotating engagement component.

[0171] The eighth cylinder is used to drive the pressing plate to move and press it onto the filling tube;

[0172] The multiple proximity switches are respectively defined as the first proximity switch, the second proximity switch, the third proximity switch, the fourth proximity switch, the fifth proximity switch, the sixth proximity switch, the seventh proximity switch, and the eighth proximity switch.

[0173] The multiple solenoid valves are defined as a first solenoid valve, a second solenoid valve, a third solenoid valve, a fourth solenoid valve, a fifth solenoid valve, a sixth solenoid valve, a seventh solenoid valve, and an eighth solenoid valve, respectively. The first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, the third solenoid valve, the fourth solenoid valve, the fifth solenoid valve, the sixth solenoid valve, the seventh solenoid valve, and the eighth solenoid valve are electrically connected to the first cylinder, the second cylinder, the third cylinder, the fourth cylinder, the fifth cylinder, the sixth cylinder, the seventh cylinder, and the eighth cylinder, respectively.

[0174] The first proximity switch, the second proximity switch, the third proximity switch, the fourth proximity switch, the fifth proximity switch, the sixth proximity switch, the seventh proximity switch, and the eighth proximity switch are electrically connected to the first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, the third solenoid valve, the fourth solenoid valve, the fifth solenoid valve, the sixth solenoid valve, the seventh solenoid valve, and the eighth solenoid valve, respectively.

[0175] Correspondingly, there are also 8 sensing units 660 and 8 mounting positions 651.

[0176] The divider is a 4- to 8-station divider.

[0177] The output shaft of the drive motor 620 is connected to the rotating part 650, driving the rotating part 650 to rotate, thereby driving different sensing parts 660 to rotate to the corresponding proximity switch. The proximity switch controls the solenoid valve electrically connected to it, and the solenoid valve controls the corresponding cylinder to move. After the rotating part 650 drives the sensing part 660 to rotate to disengage from the proximity switch, the proximity switch controls the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve controls the corresponding cylinder to stop moving.

[0178] The output shaft of the drive motor 620 is connected to the rotating part 650, driving the rotating part 650 to rotate. The rotating part 650 is connected to the divider 610 via chain drive. The rotating part 650 drives the divider 610 to rotate. The divider 610 outputs power via chain drive and is connected to the synchronous conveyor 100, driving the synchronous conveyor 100 to operate.

[0179] Since both of the above power transmission paths are driven by the drive motor 620, the synchronicity of the movement of the functional devices controlled by them is greatly improved, which makes the braking action of each functional device more precise and tight, resulting in a more accurate shape of the wontons after forming and better consistency in shape.

[0180] In addition, the control mechanism is set up in a more centralized manner, and can be set up under the frame 720, which further reduces the overall footprint of the wonton machine, saves space, and is more suitable for small factories.

[0181] In some embodiments of this application, there are two filling feeding sections 300, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the synchronous conveying section 100; there are two dough-turning sections 400, which are spaced apart and embedded into the synchronous conveying section 100 along the width direction of the synchronous conveying section 100; there are two pressing sections, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the synchronous conveying section 100; and there are two wrapping sections, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the synchronous conveying section 100. This layout also limits the floor space required.

[0182] Furthermore, this application does not impose any restrictions on the specific number of the filling section 300, the dough turning section 400, the pressing section, and the wrapping section; the design can be tailored to production capacity requirements.
