Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a filling component for pasta. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of pasta processing, traditional wrapping techniques have long relied on manual operation, resulting in technical bottlenecks such as low production efficiency and high labor costs. With the advancement of food industrialization, while existing automated equipment has achieved mechanized production to some extent, it still faces many technical challenges and struggles to meet the production demands that balance large-scale and personalized production.

[0003] The packaging and shaping process suffers from structural defects. Traditional equipment often employs a single-mold structure, making it difficult to achieve uniform stress on the edges of the dough during the filling process. This results in unstable shaping effects, easily leading to filling leakage or dough tearing. For pastry varieties requiring complex edge-pinching techniques, existing equipment lacks a synchronous pinching mechanism, relying on a simple extrusion molding method. This results in pastries with an unattractive appearance and poor sealing, affecting their shape retention during subsequent steaming and cooking.

[0004] This application proposes an innovative solution to the aforementioned technical problems. By integrating modular design with intelligent transmission systems, it constructs an efficient and stable fully automated packaging system, providing technical support for the industrial production of pasta.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a pasta filling component. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application addresses the shortcomings of existing production technologies by providing a pasta filling component. Through its innovative structural design and precise transmission system, it achieves automation and high efficiency throughout the entire pasta filling process. Its key technologies, such as dynamic path adjustment, dual-mold collaborative operation, synchronous rotation and kneading, and intelligent support, together constitute a highly efficient and stable filling system, improving production efficiency and pasta quality.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A pasta filling component, comprising:

[0009] The dough-filling unit comprises an outer mold body and an inner mold body arranged coaxially. The outer mold body and the inner mold body are synchronously raised and lowered by a first driving mechanism, and the inner mold body is extended and retracted along the axial direction of the outer mold body by a second driving mechanism.

[0010] The dough pinching unit includes a pinching disc fixing seat and a plurality of pinching blades arranged around it.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first driving mechanism includes a first fixed plate and a second driving mechanism slidably connected to the first fixed plate. The second driving mechanism includes a first passive plate and a second fixed plate fixedly connected together. The first passive plate is provided with a second rack and meshes with a second gear on the first fixed plate for transmission.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] This utility model features a compact and rationally designed unit that is easy to operate.

[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1-9As shown, this embodiment discloses a pasta filling component. This filling component, through modular design, achieves integrated pasta filling, encompassing four core stages: dough conveying, filling addition, filling shaping, and finished product conveying. Its structure mainly includes a front conveyor 100 and a filling component 200. During operation, the front conveyor 100 stably conveys the filled dough to the filling component 200. When the dough 600 reaches the filling position, the extendable section 103 quickly retracts, allowing the dough 600 to fall rapidly into the filling component 200, ensuring the dough 600 accurately falls between the dough filling unit 201 and the dough pinching unit 204. Subsequently, the first drive mechanism 202 drives the outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b to descend synchronously, wrapping the filling with the dough 600. Then, the second drive mechanism 203 drives the inner mold body 201b to extend and retract along the axial direction of the outer mold body 201a, further adjusting the filling position. Finally, the first rotary drive motor 204h of the dough pinching unit 204 starts, driving the pinching cutter 204b to rotate synchronously and pinch the edge of the dough 600 through the meshing transmission of the drive gear 204f and the planetary gear 204e, thus completing the wrapping process of the pasta. The wrapped pasta then enters the next process for further processing.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the front conveyor device 100 is responsible for conveying the filled dough sheet 600. It mainly includes a front conveyor belt 101, a fixed section 102 and a telescopic section 103 disposed inside the front conveyor belt 101, an adjustment unit 104 and a pulley assembly 105. The front conveyor belt 101 is supported by the pulley assembly 105 of the fixed section 102 and the telescopic section 103.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fixed section 102 includes a horizontal section 102a, which, together with the pulley assembly 105 of the retractable section 103, supports the front conveyor belt 101, ensuring the stability of the conveyor belt during the conveying process. The retractable section 103 is driven by a rack and pinion assembly 106, which includes a first gear 106b and a first rack 106a. The two gears mesh and, under rotational force, drive the retractable section 103 to reciprocate along the conveying direction. The maximum extension stroke can be set according to actual needs to meet the conveying requirements of different sized sheet materials 600.

[0042] The front conveyor belt 101 is also equipped with an adjustment unit 104 for controlling the extension allowance. The adjustment unit 104 includes an adjustable belt tension device 104a and a sliding pulley 104b. By adjusting the distance between the control pulleys, the tension of the conveyor belt is kept constant, reducing the risk of deformation of the surface skin 600. At the same time, the front conveyor belt 101 is driven by the front conveyor belt drive mechanism 107 to achieve stable conveying of the surface skin 600.

[0043] The front conveyor belt 101 on the retractable section 103 is arranged in a Z-shape. The fixed section 102 includes a horizontal section 102a. The retractable section 103 is driven by a rack and pinion assembly 106 to meet the conveying needs of different sized face sheets 600.

[0044] In this embodiment, the front conveyor belt drive mechanism 107 uses a servo motor and a reducer to drive the conveyor belt 101 via a synchronous belt drive. The adjustment unit 104 includes an adjustable belt tensioning device 104a and a sliding pulley 104b, and controls the tension of the front conveyor belt 101 through the adjustable belt tensioning device 104a.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fixed section 102 provides a stable support foundation for the front conveyor belt 101, ensuring the smoothness of the conveyor belt during normal operation. The presence of the telescopic section 103 increases the flexibility of the equipment. The drive pulley set not only supports the conveyor belt 101 but also transmits power through friction with the conveyor belt 101, enabling the conveyor belt 101 to operate normally. The adjustment unit 104 plays a crucial role; it can adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 101 in real time according to the extension and retraction of the telescopic section 103, preventing the conveyor belt 101 from slipping due to being too loose or damaging the conveyor belt 101 and the equipment due to being too tight.

[0046] In this embodiment, the extendable section 103 includes a rack and pinion assembly 106, with a first rotary drive motor mounted on the first gear 106b to control the extension distance. The front conveyor belt 101 is wound in a Z-shape around the extension unit 103, and the horizontal section 103a of the extension unit and the first rack 106a are located at the upper and lower ends of the Z-shape and move in opposite directions. The extension displacement distance is greater than the maximum length of the face sheet 600, and the fixed horizontal section 102a and the extendable horizontal section 103a are on the same plane, ensuring a smooth transition of the face sheet 600 during the conveying process and avoiding deformation or damage to the face sheet 600 due to height differences.

[0047] The first rotary drive motor drives the first gear 106b to rotate, and the first gear 106b meshes with the first rack 106a, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the telescopic section 103. The Z-shaped arrangement of the front conveyor belt 101 can make full use of space while ensuring the stability of the conveyor belt 101 during the extension and retraction process. The extension and retraction displacement distance is greater than the maximum length of the dough 600, ensuring that the telescopic section 103 can smoothly transport the dough 600 into the filling component 200 regardless of its size. At the same time, the main purpose of the telescopic section 103 is to drive the front conveyor belt 101 to retract quickly. At this time, the dough 600 will fall into the filling component 200 under the action of gravity, realizing the transfer of the dough 600.

[0048] During the conveying process, the front conveyor seat device 100, through the coordinated operation of the fixed section 102 and the telescopic section 103, ensures that the filled dough 600 can be smoothly and accurately conveyed to the designated position. When the filled dough 600 reaches the filling assembly 200, the front conveyor belt 101 quickly retracts, transferring the dough 600 into the filling assembly 200. The rapid retraction of the telescopic unit 103 is a key step. By precisely controlling the retraction speed and timing of the telescopic unit 103, the filled dough 600 can fall naturally and smoothly onto the pinching plate fixing seat 204a under the action of gravity, avoiding damage to the dough 600 or filling spillage caused by impact. This function provides a good foundation for the subsequent wrapping and pinching processes.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the filling component 200 is located at the output end of the front conveyor device 100. It receives the filled dough 600 conveyed by the front conveyor device 100 and performs the filling and edge pinching operations.

[0050] The tight connection between the filling assembly 200 and the front conveyor seat 100 ensures the continuity of dough sheet 600 conveying. Its location at the output end ensures that the filled dough sheet 600 can immediately enter the filling assembly 200 for further processing after leaving the front conveyor belt 101, reducing the dwell time of the dough sheet 600 during conveying and improving production efficiency. At the same time, the reasonable layout also benefits the overall structural design and operation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0051] The filling component 200 includes a dough filling unit 201 and a dough pinching unit 204. The dough filling unit 201 and the dough pinching unit 204 work together to complete the filling process of the pastry. The dough filling unit 201 is mainly responsible for wrapping the filling in the dough 600 to form the initial shape of the pastry; the dough pinching unit 204 pinches the edges of the dough 600 after wrapping the filling to make the pastry more compact and beautiful.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the dough wrapping unit 201 in this embodiment includes an outer mold body 201a and an inner mold body 201b arranged coaxially. The outer mold body 201a is a cylindrical structure and the inner mold body 201b is a columnar structure. The two are arranged coaxially to realize the wrapping action of the dough 600.

[0053] The outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b are raised and lowered synchronously via a first drive mechanism 202, and the inner mold body 201b is extended and retracted along the axial direction of the outer mold body 201a via a second drive mechanism 203. Specifically, the dough filling unit 201 includes an outer mold body 201a and an inner mold body 201b arranged coaxially. The outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b are raised and lowered synchronously via the first drive mechanism 202.

[0054] The coaxial arrangement of the outer mold 201a and the inner mold 201b ensures the symmetry and stability of the dough wrapping process. The first drive mechanism 202 drives the outer mold 201a and the inner mold 201b to rise and fall synchronously, allowing them to accurately descend to the position of the filled dough 600 and wrap the filling. The second drive mechanism 203 moves the inner mold 201b along the axial direction of the outer mold 201a, adjusting its position according to the amount of filling and the size of the dough 600 to ensure the dough 600 completely covers the filling while avoiding the problem of too much or too little dough. This design allows the dough wrapping unit 201 to adapt to the wrapping needs of different sized pastries, improving the equipment's versatility.

[0055] Specifically, the dough-filling unit 201 adopts a dual-mold coaxial structure. The outer mold 201a, the inner mold 201b, and the pinching blade holder 204a provide stable support for the dough 600, ensuring that the dough 600 does not deform during the pinching process. Multiple pinching blades 204b are arranged around the pinching blade holder 204a, and the synchronous rotation and pinching action of the pinching blades 204b is realized through the transmission mechanism of the sun gear 204d, planetary gear 204e, and drive gear 204f. This synchronous rotation design ensures that the pinching of the edges of the dough 600 is uniform and tight, improving the quality of the pastry. The V-shaped bevel 204c design can better open the dough 600, making the filling more evenly distributed inside the dough 600, and also providing more space for the operation of the pinching blades 204b, facilitating the pinching work.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the first driving mechanism 202 in this embodiment includes a first fixed plate 202a and a second driving mechanism 203 slidably connected to the first fixed plate 202a. The second driving mechanism 203 includes a first passive plate 203a and a second fixed plate 203b fixedly connected together, that is, the first passive plate 203a is slidably connected to the side wall of the first fixed plate 202a.

[0057] Specifically, the first passive plate 203a is provided with a second rack that meshes with a second gear on the first fixed plate 202a for transmission. The outer mold body 201a is fixed to the second fixed plate 203b. A third gear is connected to the first passive plate 203a, and the third gear meshes with a third rack connected to the second passive plate 203d. The second passive plate 203d is slidably connected to the second fixed plate 203b. A connector 203c is connected to the upper end of the side of the second passive plate 203d closest to the second fixed plate 203b, and the connector 203c passes through a pre-drilled hole on the second fixed plate 203b and connects to the inner mold body 201b.

[0058] To improve the stability of sliding, the sliding method in this embodiment adopts a slider-rail design, and the gears are equipped with corresponding servo motors to improve the driving accuracy.

[0059] The first drive mechanism 202 adopts a gear and rack structure to achieve synchronous lifting and lowering of the outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b.

[0060] The first drive mechanism 202, through the sliding connection of the first fixed plate 202a and the second drive mechanism 203, enables the synchronous lifting and lowering of the outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b. The meshing transmission of the rack and pinion ensures the accuracy and stability of the transmission, allowing the outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b to precisely descend to the designated position for the dough filling operation. This structural design not only improves the operating efficiency of the equipment but also enhances its reliability and durability.

[0061] The second drive mechanism 203 also adopts a gear and rack structure for drive, which drives the inner mold body 201b to move axially along the outer mold body 201a.

[0062] The gear and rack structure of the second drive mechanism 203 provides reliable power support for the telescopic movement of the inner mold body 201b. By precisely controlling the rotation of the gears, the inner mold body 201b can achieve precise telescopic movement along the axial direction of the outer mold body 201a, thereby meeting the wrapping requirements of different filling amounts and dough sizes. This drive method has advantages such as high transmission efficiency and accurate positioning, ensuring the stable operation of the dough wrapping unit 201.

[0063] The dough pinching unit 204 includes a pinching blade holder 204a and a plurality of pinching blades 204b arranged around it. A sun gear 204d is located at the lower end of the pinching blade holder 204a. Each pinching blade 204b is equipped with a planetary gear 204e that meshes with the sun gear 204d. A drive gear 204f meshes with one of the planetary gears 204e. The drive gear 204f is connected to a first rotary drive motor 204h to achieve synchronous rotation and pinching action of the pinching blades 204b. A V-shaped bevel 204c is provided on the inner side of the pinching blade holder 204a to better expand the dough 600 in conjunction with the dough filling unit 201.

[0064] Specifically, the dough edge pinching unit 204 includes a pinching blade plate fixing seat 204a and a plurality of pinching blades 204b arranged around it. Power is transmitted through the first crank connecting rod 204g and the rocking assembly 204i to realize the synchronous rotation and pinching action of the pinching blades 204b, ensuring that the edges of the dough 600 are pinched tightly and beautifully.

[0065] The active gear 204f of the dough pinching unit 204 is connected to the rocking assembly 204i and the first rotary drive motor 204h through the first crank connecting rod 204g to achieve synchronous drive and rotary pinching.

[0066] The first crank connecting rod 204g converts the rotational motion of the first rotary drive motor 204h into the rotational motion of the drive gear 204f, thereby driving the kneading cutter 204b to rotate synchronously and knead the edge. This transmission connection method has the advantages of simple structure and stable transmission, ensuring that the rotational speed and angle of the kneading cutter 204b are precisely consistent, thus improving the quality of the dough edge kneading. Furthermore, the first crank connecting rod 204g can also adjust the transmission ratio according to actual needs to meet different edge kneading process requirements.

[0067] Meanwhile, a base and a cover plate are also provided on the dough pinching unit 204. Both the base and the cover plate of the dough pinching unit 204 have through holes for fixing the sun gear 204d and the planetary gear 204e. The through holes in the base and cover plate provide accurate installation positions for the sun gear 204d and the planetary gear 204e, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the gear transmission. The reasonable through hole design also facilitates gear installation and maintenance, improving the operability of the equipment. At the same time, the structural design of the base and cover plate must consider the overall strength and stability of the equipment, ensuring that it can withstand certain forces and vibrations during the pinching process.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the rear conveyor seat and swing device 300 are located below the dough pinching unit 204, and they play an important supporting and conveying role in the pastry processing.

[0069] Located below the dough pinching unit 204, the rear conveyor seat and swing device 300 can support the filled dough 600 during the pinching process, preventing it from sagging and deforming due to gravity. Simultaneously, after the finished pastry is processed, it can promptly transport it to the next process, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire production process.

[0070] Specifically, the rear conveyor seat and swing device 300 includes a vertically lifting support platform 301 and a rear conveyor belt 302 mounted on it. The rear conveyor belt 302 is driven by a rear conveyor belt drive mechanism 305. A second crank connecting rod 303 is connected to the support platform 301, and the support platform 301 is connected to a second rotary drive motor 304 via the crank connecting shaft 303 to achieve lifting. One end of the support platform 301 is movably connected to the rear conveyor belt drive mechanism 305, and is connected to the second rotary drive motor 304 via the second crank connecting rod 303 to drive it to swing up and down.

[0071] The vertically adjustable support platform 301 can adjust its height according to different stages of pastry processing, providing suitable support for dough edge pinching and pastry conveying. A rear conveyor belt 302, mounted on the support platform 301, is responsible for conveying the finished pastries to the next process. The combination of the second crank connecting rod 303 and the second rotary drive motor 304 enables the lifting and swinging functions of the support platform 301. This design increases the flexibility of the equipment and allows it to better adapt to the needs of different pastry processing. The up-and-down swinging of the support platform 301 can, to some extent, adjust the conveying direction and angle of the pastries, improving the accuracy and stability of the conveying process.

[0072] Meanwhile, the rear conveyor and swing device 300 support the filled dough 600 during the edge-pinching process in the edge-pinching unit, and convey the finished pastry after processing. When the rear conveyor and swing device 300 are at their highest point, they work with the filling assembly 200 to support the filled dough 600, preventing it from being suspended and damaged. The wrapped pastry remains within the pinching plate fixing seat 204a, and the second rotary drive motor 304 moves the support platform 301 downwards, thereby allowing the finished pastry to enter the next process via the rear conveyor belt 302.

[0073] During the edge-pinching process, the support platform 301 plays a crucial role in supporting the dough 600, ensuring its flatness and improving the quality of the edge-pinching. After the finished pastry is processed, the lifting of the support platform 301 and the operation of the rear conveyor belt 302 promptly transport the pastry to the next process. At its highest point, it works in conjunction with the filling component 200 to support the dough 600, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the equipment and preventing damage to the dough 600. Through a well-designed mechanism, the rear conveyor and swing device 300 achieve seamless integration of support and transport during the pastry processing, improving production efficiency.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the packaging equipment in this embodiment also includes a pressing unit. The dough pressing unit 500 is located on the dough conveying line. The dough pressing unit 500 can directly press the conveyed dough to form a dough sheet 600 of a specific shape. This layout makes the dough sheet preparation and conveying process more compact and efficient, reduces the dough sheet transfer links, and lowers the risk of dough sheet damage.

[0075] A mold presses the dough into a dough sheet 600 of a specific shape. The pressed dough sheet 600 is a flat cylinder with an annular groove 602 on the upper end face. The center part 601 protrudes upward to hold the filling. The diameter of the center part 601: the width between the inner and outer diameters of the annular groove 602 = 1:(0.2-0.4), and the diameter of the center part 601: the diameter of the dough sheet 600 = 1:(1.8-2.2). The thickness of the dough sheet 600 is not less than 10mm, and the depth of the annular groove 602 (that is, the vertical distance from the end face of the dough sheet 600 to the bottom wall of the annular groove 602) is not less than 3mm, so that the shape of the dough sheet 600 can cover a larger amount of filling.

[0076] The vertically lifting mold can be adjusted according to the thickness and shape of the dough to ensure that the pressed dough sheet 600 meets the requirements. The flat cylindrical dough sheet 600 design facilitates subsequent wrapping and edge pinching operations, and also ensures the stability of the pastry during steaming. The annular groove 602 on the upper surface increases the contact area between the dough sheet 600 and the filling, allowing the filling to be better fixed inside the dough sheet 600, thus improving the quality of the pastry. Figure 1 As shown, the wrapping equipment in this embodiment also includes a filling unit 400. The filling structure 400 is disposed on the conveying path of the front conveyor seat device 100 and is responsible for adding filling to the middle of the dough 600.

[0077] The filling unit 400 includes a hopper 401, a triple central column filling guide seat 402, a rod-shaped triple filling outlet 403, and a metering device. A photoelectric sensor is also installed on the front conveyor belt 101 to detect the position of the dough sheet 600. In this embodiment, due to the special structure of the dough sheet 600, it can hold more filling. The filling unit 400 in this embodiment has multiple hoppers 401, which provide different fillings. The fillings are mixed by the triple central column filling guide seat 402 and accurately measured by the rod-shaped triple filling outlet 403 and the metering device before being placed on the dough sheet 600.

[0078] Located on the conveying path of the front conveyor device 100, the filling structure 400 accurately adds filling to the center of the dough 600 during the dough 600 conveying process, ensuring the accuracy of the filling's placement and quantity. This layout tightly integrates the filling process with the dough 600 conveying process, improving production efficiency. The design of the filling structure 400 takes into account factors such as the type of filling, flow rate, and addition speed. Through reasonable structural design and control methods, it can be ensured that the filling is evenly added to the center of the dough 600. Simultaneously, considering the special shape of the dough 600, as much filling as possible can be added while still allowing the dough 600 to cover the filling, especially when dealing with multiple filling combinations. At the same time, the stability and reliability of the filling structure 400 are also crucial; it must ensure accurate filling during continuous production without affecting the normal operation of the entire production process.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a fully automatic pasta wrapping method, which includes the following steps:

[0081] S1. Dough preparation and filling

[0082] The dough is pressed into a flat cylindrical sheet using the pressing unit 500;

[0083] First, the prepared dough is fed to the pressing unit 500. The pressing unit 500's die slowly descends under the drive of a vertical lifting mechanism, applying pressure to the dough. As the pressure gradually increases, the dough begins to deform, eventually being pressed into a flat, cylindrical sheet 600.

[0084] During the pressing process, the descent speed and pressure of the die must be strictly controlled. Excessive descent speed may result in an uneven surface on the dough sheet 600, while excessive pressure may cause it to crack. Precise control ensures that the pressed dough sheet 600 has a uniform thickness and regular shape. Furthermore, pressing the dough sheet into a flat, cylindrical shape facilitates subsequent wrapping and edge-pinching, improving the overall quality of the pastry.

[0085] The filling unit 400 adds filling to the center of the dough 600; the filling unit 400 starts working when the dough 600 is conveyed below it. According to the preset filling amount and adding speed, the filling device accurately adds filling to the center 601 of the dough 600.

[0086] During the filling process, it's crucial to ensure the evenness and accuracy of the filling. The filling device should be designed to achieve precise flow control, preventing excessive or insufficient filling. Simultaneously, attention must be paid to the filling's placement, ensuring it's added to the center (601) of the dough (600mm), providing favorable conditions for subsequent wrapping steps. Proper filling control can improve the taste and quality of the pastries, meeting the needs of diverse consumers.

[0087] S2, Dough Conveying and Positioning

[0088] The front conveyor device 100 transports the filled dough to the filling assembly 200. The drive mechanism 107 of the front conveyor device 100 is activated, driving the front conveyor belt 101 to rotate. Driven by the conveyor belt 101, the filled dough moves towards the filling assembly 200 along the conveying direction.

[0089] During the conveying process, it is essential to ensure the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 101 and avoid slippage or jamming. Simultaneously, the operating speed of the conveyor belt 101 should be adjusted appropriately according to the size and weight of the dough sheet 600 to ensure that the dough sheet 600 is accurately and promptly conveyed into the filling assembly 200.

[0090] The retractable section 103 extends the front conveyor belt 101 into the filling assembly 200. When the filled dough approaches the filling assembly 200, the rotary drive motor of the retractable section 103 starts, driving the gear to rotate. The rack 106a moves accordingly, causing the retractable section 103 to extend along the conveying direction. Driven by the retractable section 103, the front conveyor belt 101 extends into the filling assembly 200.

[0091] The extension of the retractable section 103 must be precisely controlled to ensure that the front conveyor belt 101 can accurately extend into the filling assembly 200. Through a reasonable control algorithm and sensor feedback, precise positioning of the retractable section 103 can be achieved, improving the accuracy of the conveying process.

[0092] Once the filled dough reaches the designated position, the retractable section 103 contracts at a speed not less than the set speed, and the filled dough falls onto the pinching blade plate fixing seat 204a of the dough pinching unit 204 of the filling component 200 under the action of gravity.

[0093] Once the filled dough reaches the designated position, the rotary drive motor of the retractable section 103 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the retractable section 103 to quickly retract. Under the action of gravity, the filled dough naturally falls onto the pinching disc fixing seat 204a.

[0094] Controlling the shrinkage speed and timing is crucial. A shrinkage speed no less than the set speed ensures the filled dough can smoothly detach from the front conveyor belt 101, preventing the dough 600 from sticking to the conveyor belt 101. Simultaneously, precise control of the shrinkage timing ensures the filled dough falls accurately onto the pinching plate fixing seat 204a, preparing it for subsequent wrapping and edge pinching processes.

[0095] S3, Wrapping filling in dough

[0096] The outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b are driven by the first driving mechanism 202 to press down the dough 600 simultaneously. The inner mold body 201 presses down the middle part of the dough 600, that is, the part with the filling, while the outer mold body 201a presses down the edge of the dough 600.

[0097] The rotary drive motor of the first drive mechanism 202 starts, driving the gear to rotate, and the rack 106a moves accordingly, causing the outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b to descend synchronously. After the outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b descend to a certain position, they wrap the filling around the outer edge of the dough 600.

[0098] The synchronous drive function of the first drive mechanism 202 ensures that the descent actions of the outer mold body 201a and the inner mold body 201b are consistent, so that the dough 600 can evenly wrap the filling. During the descent, the descent height and speed should be adjusted reasonably according to the thickness of the dough 600 and the amount of filling to avoid the dough 600 from breaking or the filling from spilling out.

[0099] Then, the second drive mechanism 203 drives the inner mold body 201b to move down, so that the dough 600 and filling come into contact with the rear conveyor seat and the swing device 300.

[0100] The rotary drive motor of the second drive mechanism 203 starts, driving the gear to rotate, and the rack 106a moves accordingly, causing the inner mold body 201b to continue to move downward. After the inner mold body 201b moves downward, the dough 600 and filling come into contact with the rear conveyor seat and the swing device 300, providing support for the subsequent edge pinching process.

[0101] The movement of the second drive mechanism 203 must be precisely controlled to ensure that the inner mold body 201b moves down the appropriate distance. Excessive downward movement of the inner mold body 201b may cause overstretching of the dough 600, while insufficient downward movement may result in poor contact between the dough 600 and the rear conveyor seat and oscillating device 300. Through proper control, good contact between the dough 600 and the filling with the rear conveyor seat and oscillating device 300 can be ensured, improving the quality of the pinched edges.

[0102] S4, Mold Reset

[0103] Reset the inner mold body 201b and the outer mold body 201a in sequence;

[0104] After the filling is wrapped in the dough, the second drive mechanism 203 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the inner mold 201b to rise and reset. Then, the first drive mechanism 202 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the outer mold 201a to rise and reset.

[0105] The mold resetting process must be smooth and accurate. Excessive resetting speed may cause impact, affecting the stability and lifespan of the equipment; inaccurate resetting may lead to equipment malfunction. Through a reasonable control strategy, a smooth mold resetting can be achieved, preparing the mold for the next packaging process.

[0106] S5. Pinch the edges of the dough.

[0107] The rotary drive device 204h drives the drive gear 204f, which in turn drives the planetary gear 204e to mesh with the sun gear 204d, so that the kneading cutter 204b rotates synchronously to knead the dough 600.

[0108] The rotary drive device 204h starts, driving the drive gear 204f to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 204f is transmitted through the meshing of the planetary gear 204e and the sun gear 204d, causing multiple kneading cutters 204b to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the kneading cutters 204b knead the edge of the dough 600.

[0109] The power output of the rotary drive device 204h must be stable to ensure smooth rotation of the drive gear 204f. The meshing of the planetary gear 204e and the sun gear 204d must be precise to ensure synchronous rotation of the kneading cutter 204b. The rotation speed and kneading force of the kneading cutter 204b should be reasonably adjusted according to the characteristics of the dough 600 and the wrapping requirements to achieve the best edge-pinching effect.

[0110] S6, Pastry Conveying

[0111] The finished pastry is conveyed to the next process via the rear conveyor seat and swing device 300;

[0112] After the edges are pinched, the support platform 301 of the rear conveyor seat and swing device 300 begins to descend under the drive of the rotary drive motor 304. At the same time, the rear conveyor belt 302 starts running, moving the finished pastry to the next process.

[0113] The descent speed of the support platform 301 and the running speed of the subsequent conveyor belt 302 must be coordinated to ensure that the finished pastries can be smoothly and accurately transported to the next process. During the conveying process, care should be taken to avoid collisions or squeezing of the finished pastries to ensure their integrity and quality.

[0114] This solution boasts high flexibility, stability, and reliability, adapting to the packaging needs of different sized pastries, improving production efficiency and pastry quality, and providing an advanced solution for the pasta processing industry. In practical applications, the solution can be further optimized and adjusted according to specific production needs to achieve the best production results.

[0115] This innovative dough filling component automates the entire dough filling process through its innovative structural design and precise transmission system. The dynamic path adjustment of the front conveyor unit 100, the collaborative operation of the dual-mold filling component 200, and the intelligent support technology of the rear conveyor and swing device 300 together constitute a highly efficient and stable filling system. The equipment supports various dough and filling combinations, has the ability to quickly switch products, and can meet the dual needs of industrial production and personalized customization. Future intelligent upgrades will further promote the development of the dough processing industry towards automation and standardization.
