Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking machinery technology, specifically to a noodle pressing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, competition within the noodle industry has intensified, labor costs have risen, and profits have decreased accordingly. Consequently, users have increased their demands for the safety, efficiency, and labor-saving aspects of noodle processing machinery. The noodle pressing machine, also known as a sheet press, commonly used in the noodle industry, rolls dough, after kneading and maturing, into thin sheets through multiple rotating rollers. This process further develops the gluten in the dough, forming a dense network and creating a sheet of a certain thickness with plasticity and extensibility. Noodle processing often requires different equipment to process dough into various forms such as sheet noodles, thin noodles, and noodles, necessitating different processing equipment to meet the diverse product requirements. This not only results in large space requirements but also high procurement costs, increasing production costs and hindering the long-term development of enterprises.

[0003] At present, the urgent technical problem to be solved is to require equipment that is detailed, user-friendly, and multi-functional to meet the processing needs of making noodles, Chinese and Western pastries, and pressing dough sheets. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a noodle pressing machine that can be used for multiple purposes. It can not only press dough flakes and dough into sheet, and press thick sheet into thin sheet with toughness and elasticity, but also press noodles that are elastic, smooth and not easy to break.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A noodle pressing machine is provided, including a frame, a worktable on the top of the frame, two opposing grid plates vertically mounted on the worktable, a fixed roller rotatably mounted between the two grid plates, and an adjustable roller rotatably mounted above one side of the fixed roller via an adjustable bearing, and a drive shaft rotatably mounted below the other side of the fixed roller between the two grid plates, with a large sprocket mounted on the outside of the grid plate at one end of the drive shaft and a small gear mounted on the outside of the grid plate at the other end of the drive shaft.

[0007] A large grooved wheel is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the grid on the roller shaft at one end of the fixed roll. A small sprocket is mounted on the outer center of the large grooved wheel via a sprocket shaft. The small sprocket and the large sprocket are connected by a first chain drive. A fixed sprocket and a large gear meshing with a small gear are sequentially mounted on the outer side of the grid on the roller shaft at the other end of the fixed roll. An adjustable sprocket connected to the fixed sprocket via a second chain drive is mounted on the outer side of the roller shaft at the same side of the adjustable roll.

[0008] A noodle cutter is also movably installed between the two grid plates and below the adjustable roller. The drive gear at one end of the drive shaft of the noodle cutter can mesh with the large gear.

[0009] Furthermore, each grid plate has a connecting seat protruding at both ends of its bottom, and a shock-absorbing block is installed between the connecting seat and the workbench and fixed with bolts.

[0010] Each grid plate is mounted to the workbench via a connecting seat at its bottom. Anti-vibration blocks are installed between the connecting seat and the workbench to effectively reduce vibration and noise during operation.

[0011] Furthermore, a drive sprocket is rotatably mounted on the grid plate on the side where the adjustable sprocket is installed, below the adjustable sprocket, and a movable tension sprocket is mounted on the side of the fixed sprocket above the pinion. The second chain is installed between the adjustable sprocket, the drive sprocket, and the tension sprocket, and is V-shapedly engaged with the bottom of the fixed sprocket between the adjustable sprocket and the tension sprocket.

[0012] By setting a movable tension sprocket, the second chain can be tensioned when the adjustable roller is adjusted and the adjustable sprocket moves, so as to ensure the stability of the tension of the second chain. The second chain is V-shaped below the fixed sprocket, which can further ensure the tension of the second chain between each sprocket and achieve efficient transmission.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the two grid plates has a horizontal support notch for sliding support of the adjustable bearing seats at both ends of the adjustable roll. Each grid plate has a plug connected to the notch end by bolts. Each plug has a horizontal threaded through hole and an adjusting screw connected to it. The adjusting screw has a handwheel installed on the outside of the support notch. The adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the adjustable bearing seat inside the support notch.

[0014] The adjustable screw can be rotated by handwheel. The adjustable screw and the threaded through hole on the plug can be used to drive the adjustable bearing seat to move laterally on the support notch, thereby adjusting the distance between the adjustable roll and the fixed roll, and thus making it easy to adjust and control the thickness of the rolled surface.

[0015] Furthermore, a convex winnowing hopper is obliquely installed on the top of the two grid plates via a support rod, and the lower end of the convex winnowing hopper extends to the upper gap between the fixed roll and the adjustable roll.

[0016] The inclined winnowing basket can easily guide clumps of dough into the equipment and roll the dough through the upper gap, making feeding convenient.

[0017] Furthermore, the dough rolling rods are rotatably mounted on both sides of the winnowing basket via support frames.

[0018] The sides of the winnowing basket are equipped with dough rolling rods.

[0019] Furthermore, a guide slope is installed at an angle between the two grid plates at the lower gap between the fixed roll and the adjustable roll. A receiving sieve for receiving the dough is installed on the worktable below the guide slope. Rolling rods are rotatably installed on both sides of the receiving sieve via support frames.

[0020] By setting up a guide ramp, the pressed dough sheets can be guided into the receiving hopper to achieve material guiding and receiving, ensuring that the dough sheets do not pile up during conveying. The rotating rolling rod can be used to temporarily roll up the dough sheets for convenient temporary storage and use.

[0021] Furthermore, a motor that can be connected to a power cord is installed inside the frame. The output shaft of the motor is equipped with a small grooved wheel, and the small grooved wheel and the large grooved wheel are connected by a V-belt drive.

[0022] An electric motor is installed inside the frame. The small grooved pulley of the electric motor, together with the V-belt, drives the large grooved pulley to rotate, thereby controlling the operation of various rotating parts on the worktable. This allows one motor to control multiple components to work together, effectively saving costs.

[0023] Furthermore, a control panel electrically connected to the motor controller of the electric motor is installed on the frame. The control panel is equipped with a start button, a stop button, and a jog reverse button.

[0024] By setting up the control panel and connecting it to the motor, the motor can be started, stopped, and reversed in jog mode via control buttons, making it convenient to control the operation of the dough press machine.

[0025] Preferably, protective covers are installed on the outer sides of the two grid plates.

[0026] By installing a protective cover on the outside of the grid plate, the gears, sprockets and other components on the outside of the grid plate can be protected and sealed. This not only helps to improve the appearance of the equipment, but also has a dustproof effect, preventing dust from entering and affecting the transmission between gears.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0028] This invention utilizes a sprocket drive and the lateral movement of adjustable rollers to increase the range of adjustment for the gap between the adjustable and fixed rollers, facilitating control over the thickness of the dough sheet. The two rollers feature a large-diameter design, enabling them to press dough flakes and dough into sheets, thick sheets into resilient and chewy thin sheets, and also to press chewy, smooth, and unbreakable noodles. This multi-functional design improves the equipment's performance. This equipment is suitable for hotels, restaurants, and food processing units that produce noodles, Chinese and Western pastries, and press dough sheets.

[0029] This invention uses a single motor in conjunction with a chain and gear transmission structure to separately control two rollers for rolling dough and noodle cutters for rolling noodles. The control is simple and reduces the number of drive motors, effectively saving costs. Attached Figure Description

The second chain 34 is installed between the adjustable sprocket 35, the transmission sprocket 44 and the tension sprocket 43, and is V-shapedly engaged with the bottom of the fixed sprocket 36 between the adjustable sprocket 35 and the tension sprocket 43.

[0045] A noodle cutter 8 is movably mounted between the two grid plates 19 and below the adjustable roller 12. The drive gear at one end of the drive shaft of the noodle cutter 8 can mesh with a large gear 37. The noodle cutter 8 is an existing technology product and can be purchased directly. Cutting blades are installed on the drive and driven shafts of the noodle cutter. The drive and driven shafts rotate in opposite directions to cut the dough into noodles. A drive gear and a drive gear 47 are mounted on the drive shaft of the noodle cutter, and a driven gear is mounted on the driven shaft. The drive gear meshes with the driven gear, and the drive gear 47 meshes with the large gear 37. The rotation of the large gear 37 drives the drive gear to rotate, thereby cutting the noodles.

[0046] In this invention, the noodle cutter 8 is detachable. Two grid plates 19 each have mounting notches 45 below the support notches 24 of the adjustable roller 12 for supporting and mounting the noodle cutter 8. The noodle cutter 8 can be supported within the two mounting notches 45, and a fixing bracket 6 is provided at the notch to limit the noodle cutter 8. This is locked in conjunction with a wing nut 7 to ensure the stability of the noodle cutter 8 after installation. When it is necessary to remove the noodle cutter 8, simply loosen the wing nut 7, remove the fixing bracket 6, and the noodle cutter 8 can be taken out from the mounting notch 45, facilitating installation and disassembly.

[0047] In order to protect the transmission structure on both sides of the grid plate 19, the present invention provides protective covers 13 on the outer side of the two grid plates 19 respectively, and protective plates 23 are provided around the frame 1. This not only serves to prevent dust but also enhances the aesthetics of the equipment.

[0048] In use, the device is started by pressing the start button on the control panel 2. The dough or lumps are placed on the dough winnowing tray 16 and pass through the gap between the adjustable roller 12 and the fixed roller 18, where they are pressed into thick or thin sheets. The position of the adjustable roller 12 can be adjusted by adjusting the handwheel 9, which in turn adjusts the gap between the adjustable roller 12 and the fixed roller 18. A larger gap between the rollers can press thicker sheets, while a smaller gap can press thinner sheets. The pressed sheets are placed on the rolling bar 14, and then the noodle cutter 8 is installed. The noodle cutter 8 is fixed with the fixing bracket 6, and the fixing bracket 6 is locked with the wing nut 7. The sheets on the rolling bar 14 are pressed into chewy, smooth, and unbreakable noodles by the noodle cutter 8.

[0049] In this invention, the electric motor 26 drives the large grooved wheel 33 to rotate via the small grooved wheel 25 and the V-belt 27. The sprocket shaft 46 on the outer side of the large grooved wheel 33 drives the small sprocket 32 ​​to rotate. The small sprocket 32 ​​drives the large sprocket 29 to rotate via the first chain 31. The large sprocket 29 drives the transmission shaft 39 to rotate, which in turn drives the small gear 38 to drive the large gear 37 to rotate. This causes the fixed roller 18 connected to the large gear 37 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the large gear 37 also drives the fixed sprocket 36 to rotate. The fixed sprocket 36 drives the adjustable sprocket 35 to rotate via the second chain 34 and the tension sprocket 43. The adjustable sprocket 35 drives the adjustable roller 12 to rotate, so that the adjustable roller 12 and the fixed roller 18 rotate towards each other. This can not only press dough flakes and dough into dough sheets, and press thick dough sheets into thin, resilient, and chewy sheets, but also, with the help of the noodle cutter 8, press the dough sheets into chewy, smooth, and unbreakable noodles. This achieves multiple uses in one machine and improves the performance of the equipment. This equipment is ideal for hotels, restaurants, and food processing units that produce noodles, Chinese and Western pastries, and press dough sheets.
