Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment manufacturing technology, and in particular to a gluten roll winding device and a gluten roll winding machine including the same. Background Technology

[0002] As an important piece of equipment in the field of food processing equipment manufacturing technology, the gluten roll winding machine is mainly used to wind gluten into rolls to meet the industrial production needs of gluten products such as roasted gluten and fried gluten. Specifically, the gluten roll winding machine needs to automatically complete the entire process of gluten feeding, unloading, conditioning, cutting, winding, and unwinding, while ensuring that the finished gluten rolls have good consistency in terms of specifications, weight, and tightness to meet the needs of subsequent packaging, sales, and standardized production.

[0003] Existing gluten roll forming equipment has significant technical shortcomings in practical applications. Specifically, traditional winding devices struggle to apply uniform stretching force to the gluten during winding, leading to uneven gluten thickness and consequently affecting the compactness of the finished product. Furthermore, the lack of effective constraint on the wound gluten during unwinding often results in loosening and deformation, making it difficult to guarantee the compactness and dimensional consistency of the finished product. Additionally, while some manufacturers have introduced rigid pushing methods, these fail to apply adaptive resistance to the gluten during unwinding, impacting unwinding efficiency and potentially causing damage to the gluten roll due to forceful pushing. Therefore, technical personnel urgently need to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a gluten roll winding device, which aims to solve the technical problems of loose finished gluten rolls and poor consistency of finished products in the prior art, while ensuring the smooth execution of the unloading action.

[0005] This utility model relates to a gluten roll winding device, which stretches and thins the gluten body and achieves layer-by-layer compacting. The gluten roll winding device includes a winding body, an unwinding cylinder, a first driving part, and a second driving part. The winding body rotates circumferentially under the action of the first driving part to generate winding force. The unwinding cylinder is fitted around the winding body and performs axial reciprocating movement under the drag force of the second driving part, causing the wound gluten body to fall off. The winding body includes a receiving shaft and a stop. The receiving shaft is used to receive the gluten body, while the stop is fixed to its unwinding end. When the gluten body is rolled up and enters the side-push unwinding process, the stop and the unwinding cylinder jointly squeeze the gluten body to make it axially contracted and compacted. As the side-push force continues to act, the stop undergoes a reverse bow deformation under the push force until the gluten body passes over the stop and completes unwinding.

[0006] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the material stop is an elastic metal sheet or a flexible plastic part, the end face of which is in contact with the material release end face of the bearing shaft and is fixed.

[0007] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the fixing method of the material stop can be any one of bolt connection, welding or snap-fit.

[0008] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the baffle is a stainless steel sheet with a thickness controlled between 1 and 1.2 mm, or the baffle is a flexible plastic sheet with a thickness controlled between 1.5 and 2 mm, and the material is polypropylene or polyethylene.

[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the inner diameter of the ejector cylinder and the outer diameter of the bearing shaft are in transition clearance fit, and the tolerance zone is H7 / g6 or H8 / f7.

[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the first driving unit includes a synchronous belt drive mechanism. The synchronous belt drive mechanism includes a driving pulley, a driven pulley, and a synchronous belt. The driven pulley is fixedly sleeved on the bearing shaft, and the meshing transmission between the synchronous belt and the driving pulley drives the bearing shaft to perform circumferential rotation.

[0011] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the second drive unit includes a linkage tilting mechanism. The linkage tilting mechanism includes a driving link and a driven link. The driven link is hinged to the driving link and performs a reciprocating tilting motion due to the pulling force from the driving link. The free end of the driven link is connected to the unloading cylinder by a hinge.

[0012] Furthermore, this utility model also discloses a gluten roll winding machine, which includes the above-mentioned gluten roll winding device.

[0013] In practical applications, the gluten winding device disclosed in this utility model can achieve at least the following beneficial technical effects, specifically:

[0014] 1) In the unloading process, the material stop and the unloading cylinder work together to squeeze the gluten body, making it axially compacted, avoiding the loosening and deformation of the gluten body during unloading, and ensuring the consistency of the finished gluten body in terms of specifications, weight and compactness to meet the requirements of standardized production.

[0015] 2) During the side-push unloading process, the baffle and the unloading cylinder work together to effectively constrain the gluten roll. Simultaneously, the baffle undergoes controllable elastic deformation under pressure, allowing the gluten roll to smoothly pass through and complete the unloading process. This design adaptively adjusts the unloading resistance through the elastic deformation of the baffle, avoiding damage to the gluten roll caused by rigid pushing while ensuring unloading efficiency and equipment operational reliability.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "left", "right", "front", "back", "up", "down", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the gluten roll winding machine mainly consists of several parts: a machine base 1, a gluten feeding mechanism 2, a gluten shaping mechanism 3, a gluten transfer system 4, and a gluten roll winding system 5. The gluten feeding mechanism 2 is placed and fixed on the machine base 1, while the gluten shaping mechanism 3 and the gluten transfer system 4 are sequentially located downstream of the gluten feeding mechanism 2. After passing through the gluten feeding mechanism 2 and the gluten shaping mechanism 3, the gluten is precisely shaped into blocks. Then, it is fed evenly and stably to the gluten roll winding system 5 according to a set amount via the gluten transfer system 4, allowing the gluten to be wound and shaped as expected.

[0026] Figure 2 , Figure 3Two perspective views of the gluten roll winding and forming system disclosed in this utility model are shown, revealing that it mainly consists of a gluten feeding device 51, a gluten shaping device 52, a telescopic feeding plate 53, a winding device 54, and a winding auxiliary device 55. The gluten feeding device 51, located directly behind the gluten shaping device 52, holds the gluten to be wound. The winding device 54, located directly in front of the gluten shaping device 52, rolls the gluten into a roll. The telescopic feeding plate 53, located below the gluten shaping device 52 and above the winding device 54, temporarily supports the gluten to be wound. The telescopic feeding plate 53 reciprocates and extends towards the winding device 54, with its movement synchronized with the winding device 54. The winding auxiliary device 55 spans the gluten shaping device 52 and is used in conjunction with the winding device 54. In actual operation, the gluten feeding device 51 passes over the gluten shaping device 52, and the gluten it holds is dropped onto the telescopic feeding plate 53. The tail end of the gluten is elastically pressed by the gluten shaping device 52. When the winding device 54 moves to the winding station, the telescopic feeding plate 53 retracts, and the gluten, losing its supporting force, hangs freely and rests against the winding device 54. During the winding process of the winding device 54, the tail end of the gluten, which is elastically pressed, is stretched and thinned by the circumferential winding force. At the same time, the winding auxiliary device 55 applies elastic pressure to the thinned gluten during the winding process, and the gluten roll is gradually and tightly wound into shape.

[0027] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the gluten winding device 54 includes a winding body 541, an ejector cylinder 542, a first drive unit 543, and a second drive unit 544. The winding body 541 rotates circumferentially under the action of the first drive unit 543 to generate winding force. The ejector cylinder 542 is fitted around the winding body 541 and, under the drag force of the second drive unit 544, performs an axial reciprocating motion, causing the wound gluten to detach. The winding body 541 includes a receiving shaft 5411 and a stop member 5412. The receiving shaft 5411 receives the gluten, while the stop member 5412 is fixed to its unloading end. When the gluten is wound and enters the side-push unloading process, the stop member and the ejector cylinder jointly squeeze the gluten to make it axially contracted and compacted. As the side-push force continues to act, the stop member undergoes a reverse bow deformation under the pushing force until the gluten passes over the stop member and completes unloading.

[0028] When the gluten body is rolled up and enters the side-push unloading process, the unloading cylinder 542 moves back and forth along the axial direction of the bearing shaft 5411 under the drive of the second drive unit 544. At this time, the stop member 5412 and the unloading cylinder 542 work together on the gluten body. Specifically, when the unloading cylinder 542 moves towards the unloading end, it will generate a lateral thrust on the gluten body wound on the bearing shaft 5411. At the same time, the stop member 5412 fixed to the unloading end of the bearing shaft 5411 will push against the gluten body from the other side. The two form a squeezing situation, so that the gluten body is tightened in the axial direction, avoiding loosening or deformation during the unloading process. As the unloading cylinder 542 continues to move, the baffle 5412 undergoes a reverse arch deformation due to the lateral thrust from the gluten body. The degree of deformation changes with the unloading process. When the thrust reaches a certain value, the gluten body will pass over the baffle 5412 that has undergone reverse arch deformation and finally fall off the bearing shaft 5411, completing the unloading process.

[0029] As Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it illustrates a schematic diagram of the reverse bow deformation process of the stop member 5412.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, in the unloading stage, the baffle 5412 and the unloading cylinder 542 work together to squeeze the gluten body, making it axially compact and avoiding the loosening and deformation of the gluten body during unloading, ensuring the consistency of the finished gluten body in terms of specifications, weight and compactness, so as to meet the requirements of standardized production; on the other hand, in the side-push unloading process, the baffle 5412 and the unloading cylinder 542 form an effective constraint on the gluten body through the synergistic squeezing action, and at the same time, the baffle 5412 can undergo controllable elastic deformation when subjected to force, so that the gluten body can smoothly pass through and complete the unloading.

[0031] It should also be noted that in this technology, the elastic deformation of the baffle 5412 is used to adaptively adjust the unloading resistance of the gluten body, which avoids damage caused by hard pushing while ensuring unloading efficiency and equipment operation reliability.

[0032] As a preferred design, the stop 5412 is preferably an elastic metal sheet (such as a stainless steel sheet with a thickness of 1-1.2 mm), whose end face contacts the unloading end face of the bearing shaft 5411 and is fixed by bolts. In this way, the stop 5412 has both structural strength and elastic deformation capability, which not only ensures that it provides sufficient support force when it cooperates with the unloading cylinder 542 to extrude the gluten and achieve axial compaction, but also allows it to undergo controllable reverse bow deformation under lateral thrust, avoiding obstruction of gluten unloading due to excessive rigidity.

[0033] Of course, as another modified design of the above technical solution, the baffle 5412 can also be preferably made of a flexible plastic sheet such as polypropylene or polyethylene, and the thickness should be controlled between 1.5 and 2 mm.

[0034] To ensure that the ejector cylinder 542 can move smoothly axially along the bearing shaft 5411, and to avoid problems such as rib body displacement or friction damage caused by improper clearance, as a further optimization of the above technical solution, the inner diameter of the ejector cylinder 542 and the outer diameter of the bearing shaft 5411 should be in transition clearance fit, and the tolerance zone is selected as H7 / g6 or H8 / f7.

[0035] It is known that, based on common design knowledge, the first drive unit 543 can adopt various design forms to achieve the drive of the bearing shaft 5411. However, a design with a simple structure, easy to manufacture and implement, and extremely high transmission precision is recommended here, specifically as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the main body of the first drive unit 543 is designed as a synchronous belt drive mechanism 5431. The synchronous belt drive mechanism 5431 includes a driving pulley 54311, a driven pulley 54312, and a synchronous belt 54313. The driven pulley 54312 is fixedly sleeved on the bearing shaft 5411, and the synchronous belt 54313 meshes with the driving pulley 54311 to drive the bearing shaft 5411 to rotate circumferentially. In actual operation, through the meshing transmission of the driving pulley 54311, the driven pulley 54312, and the synchronous belt 54313, power can be stably transmitted, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the circumferential rotation of the bearing shaft 5411, thereby ensuring the uniform output of the gluten winding force.

[0036] Similarly, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the second drive unit 544 is preferably a linkage tilting mechanism 5441. The linkage tilting mechanism 5441 includes a driving link 54411 and a driven link 54412. The driven link 54412 is hinged to the driving link 54411 and performs a reciprocating tilting motion due to the pulling force from the driving link 54411. The free end of the driven link 54412 is connected to the unloading cylinder 542 by a hinge. Thus, on the one hand, in actual operation, the pulling force of the active connecting rod 54411 is converted into the reciprocating tilting motion of the driven connecting rod 54412, thereby precisely driving the unloading cylinder 542 to perform reciprocating movement along the axial direction. Moreover, the displacement stroke and swing amplitude of the unloading cylinder 542 can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the position of the hinge point to adapt to the unloading requirements of gluten rolls of different specifications. On the other hand, the connecting rod tilting mechanism 5441 has excellent motion stability, which can reduce vibration and impact during transmission, ensure that the thrust on the gluten body is uniform during unloading, and avoid loosening and deformation problems caused by uneven force, thereby improving unloading efficiency and the quality of gluten roll finished products.

[0037] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
