A molding system for a biomimetic two-color konjac vegetarian tripe

Abstract

This utility model discloses a molding system for a biomimetic two-color konjac tripe, including a discharge module. The discharge module discharges a two-color material strip combining a base layer and a fluff layer. After being heated and guided by hot water in a pre-cooking module, the two-color material strip enters a pressing module. The two sides of the two-color material strip are pressed with the corresponding output ends of the pressing module to form base layer patterns and fluff layer patterns, and the two-color material strip and the pressing module are linked. The pressed two-color material strip and the hot water in the pre-cooking module enter a collection and cooking module for secondary cooking. The two-color material strip further imitates the color of tripe, and the temperature of the material strip is maintained by the pre-cooking module, while ensuring that the material strip does not gel. In this state, the two sides are embossed, resulting in natural patterns with good simulation, without damaging the strength of the material strip and reducing the scrap rate. After pressing, a second cooking is performed to form a mature material strip.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of konjac product processing equipment, and in particular to a molding system for a biomimetic two-color konjac vegetarian tripe. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac vegetarian tripe is a biomimetic vegetarian product based on konjac alkaline gel. The specific process in the food industry involves konjac powder and auxiliary materials swelling in water to form a sol. The sol is then mixed with a coagulant in a refining machine and pumped through pipelines to the discharge device. The discharge port is generally a flat rectangle, so the sol is squeezed at the outlet to form a sol belt. The sol belt then comes into contact with flowing hot water in a forming tank. At this time, the sol will solidify under heat to form a konjac gel belt. The gel belt continues to be kept warm in the hot water pipeline, eventually forming a flexible material belt. The material belt is then embossed by a roller with a patterned surface and cut into segments to form vegetarian tripe slices / strips / shreds.

[0003] However, it has several defects: (1) The color of the sheep tripe is uniform, which is quite different from the real sheep tripe (white base and black fur). At the same time, there are no different patterns of the base and fur. (2) Embossing after the material strip is fully formed is actually a destructive pressure on the surface of the material strip. The surface must be pierced to form an effective pattern. Therefore, the pattern is uniform, not natural, and has poor simulation. At the same time, when the embossing is too deep, it will damage the strength of the material strip, resulting in the material strip being damaged and increasing the scrap rate. (3) The embossing process is carried out in the air. The material temperature is easy to fluctuate, which will affect the softness and hardness of the material strip, resulting in poor embossing stability, forming no pattern or excessive embossing, affecting the appearance or subsequent processing, and the product quality fluctuates greatly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a molding system for a biomimetic two-color konjac vegetarian tripe, which aims to solve the aforementioned defects.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A molding system for a biomimetic two-color konjac vegetarian tripe includes a discharge module that discharges a two-color material strip combining a base layer and a fluff layer. After being heated and guided by hot water in a pre-cooking module, the two-color material strip enters a pressing module. The two sides of the two-color material strip are pressed with the corresponding output ends of the pressing module to form base layer patterns and fluff layer patterns, and the two-color material strip and the pressing module are linked. The pressed two-color material strip and the hot water from the pre-cooking module enter a collection and cooking module for secondary cooking.

[0007] Preferably, the discharge module includes two discharge plates arranged close together. The discharge plate near the water inlet of the pre-curing module is the base layer discharge plate, and the discharge plate near the water outlet of the pre-curing module is the fluff layer discharge plate. Both the discharge plates and the side opposite to the close-fitting side are provided with inlet pipes, and the bottom of the discharge plates is provided with discharge ports. The discharge ports discharge materials synchronously at the same speed.

[0008] More preferably, the discharge port is provided with an opening at the bottom of the side closest to the discharge plate, and the discharge ports of the two discharge plates are connected through the opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the opening is consistent with the width of the inner wall of the discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, the pre-curing module includes a fluidizing tank through which hot water flows. The fluidizing tank is located directly below the discharge port. One end of the fluidizing tank is provided with a water inlet pipe, and the other end of the fluidizing tank opposite to the water inlet pipe is provided with an outlet. The hot water flows horizontally from the outlet of the water inlet pipe through the fluidizing tank and out of the outlet. The two-color material strip, with the base layer at the bottom and the fluff layer at the top, follows the hot water out of the outlet and enters the pressing module.

[0011] In detail, the pressing module includes embossing rollers that rotate synchronously in opposite directions, and the two-color strip is squeezed between the embossing rollers and linked with the embossing rollers.

[0012] More specifically, the rotation speed of the embossing roller of the pressing module is consistent with the flow rate of hot water in the fluidization tank of the pre-cooking module, and the flow rate of hot water in the fluidization tank of the pre-cooking module is consistent with the discharge speed of the discharge port of the discharge module.

[0013] Specifically, the embossing roller closer to the pre-curing module is a base layer embossing roller, which forms a pressing fit with the base layer of the two-color material strip, while the embossing roller farther from the pre-curing module is a pile layer embossing roller, which forms a pressing fit with the pile layer of the two-color material strip.

[0014] More specifically, the surface of the base layer embossing roller is provided with irregular pentagonal or hexagonal grooves, which form an irregular pentagonal or hexagonal grid after pressing; the surface of the pile layer embossing roller is provided with irregularly distributed nipple-shaped depressions, which form irregular nipple-shaped protrusions after pressing.

[0015] Preferably, the collection and maturation module includes a two-phase recovery hopper for collecting the pressed two-color material strip and the hot water from the outlet of the pre-matured module. The bottom of the two-phase recovery hopper is provided with a fluidized recovery pipe. The pressed two-color material strip and the hot water enter the fluidized recovery pipe for secondary maturation to form a mature two-color material strip.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) Dual output system: solves the problem of the single color of sheep tripe, imitates the real sheep tripe (white base, black fluff), and the base and fluff have different pattern types. Through the differentiation of the konjac gum formula of the base and fluff, different tastes can also be formed.

[0018] (2) Embossing before the material strip is fully formed: The pattern is natural and has good simulation, and it will not damage the strength of the material strip, thus reducing the scrap rate;

[0019] (3) The embossing process is carried out simultaneously with fluidization: saving time, and at the same time, the material temperature is stable, resulting in good embossing stability, uniform material thickness, and small fluctuations in product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The embodiments will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown in the preferred embodiment 1, a molding system for a biomimetic two-color konjac vegetarian tripe includes a discharge module 1, which discharges a two-color material strip combining a base layer and a fluff layer. After being heated and guided by hot water in a pre-cooking module 2, the two-color material strip enters a pressing module 3. The two sides of the two-color material strip are pressed to form base layer patterns and fluff layer patterns respectively with the output ends corresponding to the pressing module 3. The two-color material strip and the pressing module 3 are linked. The pressed two-color material strip and the hot water in the pre-cooking module 2 enter a collection and cooking module 4 for secondary cooking.

[0028] The device forms a two-color strip through the discharge module 1, further mimicking the color of tripe. After entering the pre-cooking module 2, the two-color strip is kept in a heated state and further bonded. Under the traction of the pressing module 3, the heated two-color strip enters the pressing module 3 and is pressed through the corresponding output end to form the base layer pattern and the fluff layer pattern, further mimicking the shape of tripe. The embossing is done before the strip is fully formed, resulting in natural patterns, good simulation, and no damage to the strength of the strip, thus reducing the scrap rate.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment 2, the base layer is typically at the bottom and the pile layer is at the top, and the specific device of the system is described in this manner.

[0030] The discharge module 1 includes two discharge plates 101 arranged closely together. The discharge plate 101 near the water inlet of the pre-curing module 2 is for the base layer, and the discharge plate 101 near the water outlet of the pre-curing module 2 is for the fluff layer. Each discharge plate 101 has a feed pipe 102 on its opposite side. Each discharge plate 101 has a discharge port 103 at its bottom, and the discharge ports 103 discharge materials synchronously at the same speed. The feed pipes 102 are connected to a feeding device. The base layer material is fed through the base layer discharge plate 101 to form a thin, ungelled base layer strip, and the fluff layer material is fed through the fluff layer discharge plate 101 to form a thin, ungelled fluff layer strip. The base layer strip and the fluff layer strip are output synchronously to form a two-color strip.

[0031] The discharge port 103 is provided with an opening 104 at the bottom of the side closest to the discharge port, and the discharge ports 103 of the two discharge plates 101 are connected through the opening 104. When the base layer material strip and the fleece layer material strip are about to be discharged through the discharge port 103, they will come into contact through the opening 104 and be initially bonded together under the pressure of the inner wall of the discharge port 103 to form a complete two-color material strip.

[0032] The width of the opening 104 is the same as the width of the inner wall of the outlet 103. This ensures the stability of the finished two-color strip.

[0033] The pre-curing module 2 includes a fluidizing tank 201 through which hot water flows. The fluidizing tank 201 is located directly below the discharge port 103. One end of the fluidizing tank 201 is provided with a water inlet pipe 202, and the other end of the fluidizing tank 201 opposite to the water inlet pipe 202 is provided with an outlet 203. The hot water flows horizontally from the outlet of the water inlet pipe 202 through the fluidizing tank 201 and out of the outlet 203. The two-color material strip flows out of the outlet 203 with the base layer at the bottom and the fluff layer at the top, following the hot water, and enters the pressing module 3. The two-color material strip falls into the fluidization tank 202. Hot water from the water inlet pipe 202 in the fluidization tank 201 heats and initially shapes the two-color material strip. At this time, the white base layer of the two-color material strip faces downward in the fluidization tank 201, and the black fluff layer faces upward in the fluidization tank 201. Under the combined action of the pressing module 3 and the flow of water, the two-color material strip moves with the water flow to the outlet 203 and enters the pressing module 3. The water flow enters the collection and maturation module 4.

[0034] The pressing module 3 includes embossing rollers that rotate synchronously in opposite directions, driven by an external motor. The two-color strip is compressed between the embossing rollers and linked with them, ensuring both pressing and traction.

[0035] The rotation speed of the embossing roller in the pressing module 3 is consistent with the flow rate of the hot water in the fluidization tank 201 of the pre-cooking module 2, and the flow rate of the hot water in the fluidization tank 201 of the pre-cooking module 2 is consistent with the discharge speed of the discharge port 103 of the discharge module 1. This ensures the stability of the preparation process, allowing the material strip to be preheated, pressed, and cooked smoothly.

[0036] The embossing roller closer to the pre-curing module 2 is a base layer embossing roller 301, which forms a pressing fit with the base layer of the two-color material strip. The embossing roller further away from the pre-curing module 2 is a pile layer embossing roller 302, which forms a pressing fit with the pile layer of the two-color material strip. The base layer embossing roller 301 rotates clockwise, and the pile layer embossing roller 302 rotates counterclockwise.

[0037] The base layer embossing roller 301 has irregular pentagonal or hexagonal grooves on its surface, which form an irregular pentagonal or hexagonal grid after pressing; the pile layer embossing roller 302 has irregularly distributed nipple-shaped depressions on its surface, which form irregular nipple-shaped protrusions after pressing. This ensures conformation and improves the similarity to the shape of tripe.

[0038] The collection and maturation module 4 includes a two-phase recovery hopper 401 for collecting the pressed two-color material strip and the hot water from the outlet 203 of the pre-matured module 2. A fluidized bed recovery pipe 402 is located at the bottom of the two-phase recovery hopper 401. The pressed two-color material strip and hot water enter the fluidized bed recovery pipe 402 for secondary maturation to form a mature two-color material strip. After embossing, the two-color material strip and fluidized hot water are collected by the two-phase recovery hopper 401, and further fluidized and heated by the fluidized bed recovery pipe 402 to form a mature material strip, which can then be cut into slices / strips / shreds of vegetarian tripe.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment 3, when the base layer is on top and the pile layer is on the bottom, the discharge plates 101 are reversed, with the discharge plate 101 closer to the water inlet end of the pre-curing module 2 being the discharge plate 101 for the pile layer and the discharge plate 101 closer to the water outlet end of the pre-curing module 2 being the discharge plate 101 for the base layer. At the same time, the installation positions of the pile layer embossing roller 302 and the base layer embossing roller 301 are reversed, with the embossing roller closer to the pre-curing module 2 being the pile layer embossing roller 302 and the embossing roller farther from the pre-curing module 2 being the base layer embossing roller 301.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model:

[0041] The device forms a two-color strip through the discharge module 1, further mimicking the color of tripe. After entering the pre-cooking module 2, the two-color strip is kept in a heated state and further bonded. Under the traction of the pressing module 3, the heated two-color strip enters the pressing module 3 and is pressed through the corresponding output end to form the base layer pattern and the fluff layer pattern, further mimicking the shape of tripe. The embossing is done before the strip is fully formed, resulting in natural patterns, good simulation, and no damage to the strength of the strip, thus reducing the scrap rate.
