Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically a pizza topping dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] In the pizza-making process, the evenness and efficiency of ingredient distribution have a significant impact on the quality and production efficiency of the pizza.

[0003] Currently, traditional pizza topping dispensing relies heavily on manual operation. People manually sprinkle and spread various toppings evenly on the pizza dough. This method has several problems. First, manual operation is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Second, manual operation is highly subjective, making it difficult to ensure consistent topping distribution across every pizza, easily leading to inconsistent pizza quality. Although some automated pizza topping dispensing equipment exists on the market, these devices are often complex in structure and have limited functionality, making it difficult to achieve precise dispensing and even spreading of toppings, thus failing to effectively improve the quality and efficiency of pizza making. Therefore, this utility model proposes a pizza topping dispensing machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pizza topping dispenser to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pizza topping dispenser, comprising a machine base, wherein the machine base is provided with a conveyor belt, a topping dispensing component, a spreading component, and a fixing plate;

[0006] The material spreading component is installed at the front end of the coating component. The material spreading component includes a material box, which has a built-in material pump. The output end of the material pump is connected to the nozzle.

[0007] The coating assembly includes a support disk with an integrally formed toothed groove on its periphery. The toothed groove meshes with a structural tooth at one end, and the structural tooth is connected to the output end of a drive motor mounted on a fixed plate. A cylinder is mounted in the middle of the support disk, and the output end of the cylinder extends to the bottom of the support disk and is connected to the coating roller.

[0008] Preferably, the output end of the cylinder is connected to the adapter plate via an adapter, and the size of the adapter plate is adapted to the applicator roller; the applicator roller is mounted below the adapter plate via two springs disposed above it.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning block is integrally provided above the two springs, and the two springs are securely mounted below the adapter plate by the positioning block above.

[0010] Preferably, a control unit is provided on the side wall of the material bin, and the control unit is electrically connected to the material pump. A controller is provided on the side wall of the machine, and the controller is electrically connected to the control unit, drive motor and cylinder on the side wall of the material bin.

[0011] Preferably, the front fixing plate has a rectangular cavity and the rear fixing plate has an annular cavity. The rectangular cavity is adapted to be installed with the material box and the annular cavity is adapted to be installed with the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, the front fixing plate and the rear fixing plate are erected on the machine platform by guide columns, and the guide columns are detachably installed on the machine platform in conjunction with the base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pizza topping dispenser, including a machine base 1, on which a conveyor belt 2, a topping component, a spreading component 4, and a fixing plate 5 are provided; the topping component is installed at the front end of the spreading component 4, and the topping component includes a material box 3, which has a material pump 31 inside, and the output end of the material pump 31 is connected to a nozzle 32; the spreading component 4 includes a support plate 41, and the periphery of the support plate 41 is integrally provided with a toothed groove 411, which meshes with a structural tooth 42 at one end, and the structural tooth 42 is connected to the output end of a drive motor 43 installed on the fixing plate 5; a cylinder 44 is installed in the middle of the support plate 41, and the output end of the cylinder 44 extends to the bottom of the support plate 41 and is connected to a spreading roller 46.

[0023] The conveyor belt 2 on the machine 1 enables continuous conveying of pizza dough. The topping and spreading components 4 automatically complete the topping application and spreading, reducing manual intervention. The built-in pump 31 in the material tank 3, together with the nozzle 32, precisely controls the topping output. The drive motor 43 in the spreading component 4 drives the support plate 41 to rotate, and together with the cylinder 44, drives the spreading roller 46 to quickly and evenly spread the pizza toppings. Compared with manual operation, this greatly improves production efficiency and can effectively meet the market demand for large-scale pizza production.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4The output end of the cylinder 44 is connected to the adapter plate 45 via an adapter. The size of the adapter plate 45 is adapted to the spreading roller 46. The spreading roller 46 is mounted below the adapter plate 45 via two springs 47 located above it. The two springs 47 are integrally structured with a positioning block 471 above them. The two springs 47 are securely mounted below the adapter plate 45 via the positioning block 471. In use, the spreading roller 46 is elastically connected to the adapter plate 45 via the springs 47, so that the spreading roller 46 can automatically adjust the pressure according to the thickness and surface undulation of the pizza dough when it comes into contact with the dough. At the same time, the adapter plate 45 and the spreading roller 46 are detachably connected via the springs 47 and the positioning block 471, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and replacement.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A control unit is provided on the side wall of the material box 3, which is electrically connected to the material pump 31. A controller 7 is provided on the side wall of the machine base 1, which is electrically connected to the control unit, drive motor 43 and cylinder 44 on the side wall of the material box 3.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The front fixing plate 5 has a rectangular cavity, and the rear fixing plate 5 has an annular cavity 51. The rectangular cavity is adapted to the material box 3 and the annular cavity 51 is adapted to the support plate 41.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The front fixing plate 5 and the rear fixing plate 5 are erected on the machine base 1 through the guide column 6. The guide column 6 and the base 61 are detachably installed on the machine base 1. During installation and maintenance, the detachable installation method facilitates the subsequent modification of the machine base 1 and the disassembly and maintenance of the material spreading component and the coating component 4.

[0028] In operation, the conveyor belt 2 is started. When the pizza dough moves with the conveyor belt 2 to below the topping assembly, the stroke trigger mechanism integrated inside the machine 1 works in conjunction with the program logic controller 7 to stop the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the controller 7 sends a signal to the control unit on the side wall of the material bin 3. The control unit starts the material pump 31, which draws the ingredients from the material bin 3 and sprays them evenly onto the pizza dough through the nozzle 32. After the topping is completed, the pizza dough continues to move forward under the drive of the conveyor belt 2 until it stops below the spreading assembly 4. At this time, the drive motor 43 starts under the control of the controller 7. The output end of the drive motor 43 drives the structural teeth 42 to rotate. Since the tooth groove 411 meshes with the structural teeth 42, the support plate 41 starts to rotate. While the support plate 41 rotates, the controller 7 controls the cylinder 44. Upon startup, the output end of cylinder 44 drives the adapter plate 45 downward via the adapter, thereby causing the spreading roller 46 to gradually approach the pizza dough. When the spreading roller 46 contacts the surface of the dough, cylinder 44 stops moving downward. Since the spreading roller 46 is installed below the adapter plate 45 via two springs 47, the elasticity of the springs 47 allows the spreading roller 46 to fit tightly against the surface of the dough, while avoiding damage to the dough due to excessive pressure. As the support plate 41 rotates, the spreading roller 46 rolls on the surface of the dough, spreading the toppings evenly and distributing them better on the dough. After spreading, cylinder 44 retracts under the control of controller 7, driving the spreading roller 46 upward to detach from the pizza dough. The conveyor belt 2 continues to operate, transporting the pizza dough that has completed the spreading and coating operations to the subsequent processing area.

[0029] It should be noted that the stroke triggering mechanism integrated in the machine tool 1 in this application works in conjunction with the program logic controller 7. This technology is within the conventional technical scope of this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
