Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pasta processing equipment technology, specifically to a feeding device for a noodle press. Background Technology

[0002] In the pasta manufacturing industry, dough sheeters play a crucial role, primarily used in the production process. Their core function is to use dough or lumps as raw materials, pressing them into continuous sheets of uniform width through specific mechanical methods, facilitating subsequent cutting, shaping, and secondary processing. This equipment not only significantly improves pasta production efficiency but also ensures the stability and consistency of pasta quality.

[0003] In existing technologies, dough sheeters typically include a feeding device to automatically or semi-automatically feed the dough ingredients into the pressing area. However, existing feeding devices are relatively simple in structure and have several problems during use, such as poor feeding stability, a tendency to jam, and limited applicability only to dough flakes. They are not suitable for large pieces of dough or recycled dough sheets and strips. These problems limit the application range and efficiency of dough sheeters and also affect the quality and consistency of dough products. Some improved dough sheeters use screw-driven feeding devices, which improves feeding stability to some extent and is applicable to dough, dough sheets, and strips. However, the single screw-driven structure still carries the risk of jamming, especially when the dough contains large particles or irregularly shaped impurities. Further improvements include the use of pneumatic or hydraulically driven feeding systems that can automatically adjust the feeding speed and pressure according to the hardness and viscosity of the dough. However, such systems are expensive and relatively complex to maintain and operate, which may not be economical or practical for small or medium-sized noodle product manufacturers.

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a feeding device for a dough press machine, which can solve the defects in the above-mentioned technical background.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0006] A feeding device for a dough press machine includes a hopper with an opening at the top for a feed inlet and a discharge outlet on one side of the bottom facing the extrusion section of the dough press machine. The hopper has a rigid hopper body with a structural mounting base on the rigid hopper body. The feeding device is equipped with a combined stirring device and a lever device via the structural mounting base. The working parts of the combined stirring device and the lever device are located inside the hopper structure.

[0007] The working part of the combined mixing device includes two horizontally parallel mixing shafts, the plane of which is flush with the plane of the discharge port, and the mixing and pushing direction is towards the discharge port; mixing blades are formed at intervals on the mixing shafts, and the mixing blades on the two mixing shafts are staggered and spaced apart in the length direction of the shaft body; the lever device includes a longitudinally arranged lever shaft, which is located between the feed port and the combined mixing device, and multiple lever bodies are arranged at intervals on the lever shaft.

[0008] As a further limitation, the overall shape of the hopper is an inverted trapezoidal structure with a rectangular cross-section and a larger top and smaller bottom, and the sidewalls of the hopper are formed of a smooth and wear-resistant material or coated with a smooth and wear-resistant coating.

[0009] As a further limitation, the hopper is designed with a slope with an inclination angle of 45 to 70° at the bottom of the rigid structure hopper body, the slope facing the discharge port and continuously narrowing in the width direction.

[0010] As a further limitation, the hopper is provided with a standardized connection interface at the corresponding discharge port position.

[0011] As a further limitation, the hopper has an outer shell frame formed on the outside of the rigid structural hopper body, the structural mounting base is formed on the outer shell frame, a gap space is reserved between the outer shell frame and the rigid structural hopper body, and the outer shell frame abuts against the rigid structural hopper body of the hopper through grid-like ribs at the gap space position.

[0012] As a further limitation, the stirring shaft and the lever shaft are driven to rotate by different drive motors. The drive motors are preferably variable frequency speed control motors, which are detachably assembled onto the structural assembly base via motor mounting bases.

[0013] As a further limitation, the plane on which the lever shaft is set is parallel to the plane on which the stirring shaft is set, and the axis of the lever shaft is perpendicular to the axis of the stirring shaft.

[0014] As a further limitation, the radial section of the stirring shaft is square, and the stirring blades disposed on the stirring shaft are helical single-blade blades with small bases and large ends; multiple stirring blades are spaced apart along the length of the stirring shaft and are respectively assembled on the corresponding surfaces of the four sides of the square section of the stirring shaft.

[0016] As a further limitation, both the lever body on the lever shaft and the stirring blades on the stirring shaft are detachable and replaceable structures.

[0017] Beneficial Effects: This utility model provides a feeding device for a dough press machine with a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and easy maintenance and operation, making it ideal for the needs of small and medium-sized noodle product manufacturers. By employing a combined stirring device and a lever device, the dough is stirred and crushed, allowing it to enter the pressing area of ​​the dough press more evenly.

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0022] See Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of a feeding device for a dough press machine, the feeding device 2 is a structural component of the dough press machine, detachably mounted on the outside of the pressing area of ​​the dough press machine main unit 1, for feeding the dough raw materials to be processed into the pressing area of ​​the dough press machine main unit 1. In another embodiment, the feeding device 2 can also be used as a structural accessory, adaptably mounted on different types of dough press machines to expand its application range.

[0023] The main structure of the feeding device 2 in this embodiment includes a hopper 4 and a functional component structure. The top opening 3 of the hopper 4 is designed as a large-diameter structure to facilitate the operator to put in the dough raw materials. At the bottom of the hopper 4, a discharge port facing the extrusion part of the dough press machine host 1 is provided on one side to ensure that the dough raw materials can smoothly and stably enter the pressing area of ​​the dough press machine host 1.

[0024] The hopper 4 has a rigid structure, with the overall shape of the hopper body being an inverted trapezoid with a rectangular cross-section and a wider top than bottom. This facilitates the smooth flow of the dough material and prevents it from accumulating inside the hopper 4. The bottom of the rigid structure hopper is designed with a 60° inclined surface, which effectively guides the dough material towards the discharge port and gradually narrows in width, helping to form a concentrated material flow and reducing the possibility of blockage.

[0025] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, a standardized connection interface can be set at the discharge port of the corresponding hopper 4. This connection interface design not only facilitates docking with the pressing area of ​​the dough press machine host, but also ensures the stability and sealing of the connection, preventing material leakage during the feeding process.

[0026] The rigid structure of hopper 4 is made of stainless steel and the surface is polished to reduce the adhesion of raw materials on the side wall of the hopper and further improve the smoothness of the raw materials falling. In order to ensure the overall structural strength of the rigid structure hopper, the following measures are taken.

[0027] The rigid structure of hopper 4 contains a working section with functional component structures. To demonstrate the structure of these functional component structures, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure after removing hopper 4 is shown. Figure 2 The internal structure of the feeding device 2 can be clearly seen, including the specific assembly of the combined stirring device and the lever device, which are functional components.

[0028] In this embodiment, the working part of the combined mixing device consists of two mixing shafts 13, which are assembled in parallel. The plane of the mixing shafts 13 is flush with the plane of the discharge port, and the mixing and pushing direction is clearly pointed to the discharge port. The radial cross-section of the mixing shaft 13 is square, and multiple mixing blades 14 are formed at intervals on the mixing shaft. These mixing blades 14 are single-blade structures, and the whole is L-shaped. The horizontal side is reserved with threaded assembly positions so that it can be detachably assembled to one side of the square cross-section of the mixing shaft 13 through threaded connectors. The vertical side serves as the mixing surface, and adopts a spiral single-blade design with a small base and a large end. This not only increases the mixing area but also enhances the mixing force, ensuring that the raw materials are fully mixed in the hopper 4.

[0029] Multiple stirring blades 14 are evenly distributed on the stirring shaft 13. These blades 14 are arranged in a staggered pattern along the length of the shaft, ensuring that the blades 14 on the two stirring shafts 13 are staggered, forming intersecting stirring trajectories. This layout helps to more thoroughly mix and pulverize the raw materials. This design optimization not only enhances the stirring efficiency but also achieves comprehensive tumbling and mixing during the stirring process, effectively preventing the problems of localized material accumulation and uneven mixing.

[0030] To further enhance the mixing and crushing capabilities of the stirring blades 14 and to give them the function of assisting in pushing materials, the stirring blades 14 on the two stirring shafts 13 are designed to rotate in opposite directions. At the same time, it is ensured that the two stirring shafts 13 maintain a consistent direction of rotation during operation.

[0031] The lever device includes a longitudinally arranged lever shaft 10, located between the feed inlet 3 and the combined mixing device. The plane of the lever shaft 10 is parallel to the plane of the mixing shaft 13, and the axis of the lever shaft 10 is perpendicular to the axis of the mixing shaft 13. Two lever bodies 11 are spaced apart on the lever shaft 10. These two lever bodies 11 are detachable structures that intersect in opposite directions, and their axes remain perpendicular. During rotation, the lever bodies 11 actuate and assist in pushing the dough, ensuring that the dough is fed evenly and stably to the pressing area of ​​the dough press machine 1, further improving the feeding efficiency and stability.

[0032] In this embodiment, the hopper 4 has an outer shell frame formed on the outside of the rigid structural hopper body. The outer shell frame abuts against the rigid structural hopper body of the hopper 4 through grid-like ribs, which not only enhances the overall stability of the hopper 4, but also ensures the stable installation of the structural assembly seat 12.

[0033] The structural assembly base 12, as an assembly structure, is integrally formed with the lower part of the outer shell frame to ensure structural strength and stability. The structural assembly base 12 has two sets of motor assembly positions and corresponding reducer assembly positions. The two sets of motor assembly positions are used to assemble the lever motor 6 and the combined stirring motor 7, respectively, while the corresponding reducer assembly positions are used to assemble the lever reducer 5 and the combined stirring reducer 8, respectively.

[0034] In this embodiment, the combined stirring reducer 8 is a dual-output shaft reducer, with its two output shafts connected to two stirring shafts 13 respectively, and its input end connected to the power output end of the combined stirring motor 7, thereby driving the two stirring shafts 13 to rotate synchronously. The lever reducer 5 is a single-output shaft reducer, with its output shaft connected to the lever shaft 10, and its input end connected to the power output end of the lever motor 6, driving the lever shaft 10 to rotate.

[0035] The stirring shaft 13 and the lever shaft 10 are independently controlled by their respective drive systems. The corresponding combined stirring motor 7 and lever motor 6 are both variable frequency speed control motors. This design allows the stirring and feeding actions to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to dough raw materials with different hardness and viscosity, further optimizing the feeding effect.

[0036] Under the technical conditions of this embodiment, when working with dough as raw material, the operator first puts the dough raw material to be processed into the feed inlet 3 of the hopper 4. The dough raw material falls along the inner wall of the inverted trapezoidal structure of the hopper 4 under its own gravity, while simultaneously being acted upon by the combined action of the lever device and the combined stirring device.

[0037] The lever 11 on the lever shaft 10 initially moves and disperses the dough ingredients, preventing them from clogging near the feed inlet 3. Subsequently, the dough ingredients enter the area between the two mixing shafts 13, where the mixing blades 14 on the mixing shafts 13 mix and break up the dough, making it finer and more uniform. Because the mixing blades 14 are designed in a spiral single-blade shape, during the mixing process, not only is the dough ingredients thoroughly mixed, but the spiral shape also generates a pushing force on the dough, moving it towards the discharge port. Under the combined extrusion force of the subsequent materials and the mixing blades 14, it is fed into the pressing area of ​​the dough press, where it undergoes continuous dough pressing.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical content of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
