A gluten mass handling system and a gluten log winding machine comprising it

Abstract

The utility model relates to food processing equipment manufacturing technical field especially a gluten body poking system and including its gluten roll winding machine. Among them, gluten body poking system includes poking disc, power part and spacing unit. Under the driving force from power part, the compound motion of reciprocating rotation and up-down displacement is synchronously completed to poking disc. The spacing unit is composed of blocking assembly and side top assembly, and the side top assembly is installed based on the poking disc. When the circumferential rotation of the poking disc reaches the preset angle, the side top assembly and the blocking assembly are accurately in contact, the rotation angle of the poking disc is strictly limited by the mechanical spacing mode, and the displacement freedom degree in the up-down direction is completely not interfered. In this way, not only the conveying error problem caused by the insufficient spacing of the traditional poking system is effectively overcome, but also the gluten body conveying error is accurately controlled within the allowable range, and the stable operation of the subsequent equipment such as the gluten roll winding machine is well prepared.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the food processing industry, gluten products are highly favored by consumers for their unique taste and rich nutrition. With the continuous growth of market demand, the automated production of gluten products has become an inevitable trend in the industry's development. In the gluten processing flow, the material feeding process is a key step, directly affecting the quality and efficiency of subsequent processing (such as gluten roll winding and shaping).

[0003] Currently, some manufacturers' gluten feeding systems still use fixed, non-adjustable mechanical stops as limiting structures. However, this design has inherent flaws, specifically: 1) When the feeding disc experiences slight fluctuations due to inertial forces, vibrations, or other external forces, the rigidly fixed mechanical stops cannot provide precise constraints. This causes the feeding disc to frequently exceed the predetermined rotation angle, resulting in centimeter-level deviations in the gluten feeding position. This not only leads to uneven gluten winding tightness, affecting product appearance, but also causes gluten breakage due to localized overstretching; 2) Existing mechanical stops can only restrict the planar rotation of the feeding disc, failing to meet the combined motion requirements of "reciprocating rotation and reciprocating vertical displacement" in modern feeding systems. When the feeding disc moves vertically, the mechanical stops not only fail to provide coordinated limiting but may even interfere with the degrees of freedom of motion, causing equipment jamming, component damage, and other problems, severely impacting production continuity and equipment stability. Therefore, it is imperative for those skilled in the art to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gluten feeding system that can achieve directional, periodic, and intermittent conveying of gluten while also having a precise limiting function, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] This utility model relates to a gluten feeding system, comprising:

[0006] The feeding disc is used to transport gluten.

[0007] The power unit is connected to the feeding disc drive and is used to drive the feeding disc to synchronously perform a composite motion of reciprocating rotation and reciprocating up and down displacement, so that the gluten can be conveyed in a directional, periodic and intermittent manner.

[0008] A limiting unit is used to limit the rotational limit of the feeding disc during a single feeding action, and the limiting unit does not interfere with the vertical displacement degree of freedom of the feeding disc; wherein, the limiting unit includes a blocking component and a side-top component. The side-top component is mounted on the feeding disc and is spaced a predetermined distance from the blocking component. When the feeding disc rotates circumferentially to a preset angle, the side-top component and the blocking component engage to limit the circumferential rotation angle of the feeding disc.

[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the blocking component includes:

[0010] The load-bearing column is fixedly installed on the machine platform in an upright state.

[0011] The side stop is installed on one side of the load-bearing column by means of at least two sets of fastening bolts, and the fastening bolts are used to adjust the relative position between the side stop and the load-bearing column. When the feed disc rotates circumferentially to a preset angle, the side top assembly and the side stop make contact with each other.

[0012] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the blocking assembly also includes a columnar spring. The columnar spring is fitted onto the fastening bolt and is elastically compressed between the load-bearing column and the side stop, and the relative position of the side stop is adaptively adjusted through elastic deformation.

[0013] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the side-top assembly includes:

[0014] The support seat is fixed to the feed plate.

[0015] The rolling bearing is rotatably mounted on the support seat. When the feed disc rotates circumferentially to a preset angle, the rolling bearing contacts the side stop and rotates circumferentially under the frictional force of the side stop in the vertical direction.

[0016] As a further improvement to the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, the feeding disc includes a base plate, a support assembly, and a feeding assembly. The base plate is directly connected to the power unit and serves as the mounting base for the support assembly. The support assembly consists of multiple support beams evenly distributed around the central axis of the base plate, and the multiple support beams cooperate to support the feeding assembly.

[0017] Furthermore, this utility model also discloses a gluten coil winding machine, which includes the aforementioned gluten feeding system.

[0018] The working principle of the gluten feeding system is as follows: When the feeding disc rotates circumferentially under the drive of the power unit, the side top component rotates synchronously. When the feeding disc rotates to a preset angle, the side top component contacts and engages with the blocking component. At this time, the blocking component, through the interaction force with the side top component, restricts the feeding disc from continuing to rotate circumferentially, thereby precisely controlling the rotation limit position of the feeding disc in a single feeding action. Furthermore, while restricting the circumferential rotation of the feeding disc, the limiting unit does not interfere with the vertical displacement freedom of the feeding disc, ensuring that the feeding disc can freely perform reciprocating vertical displacement. This allows the combined motion of reciprocating rotation and reciprocating vertical displacement to be executed smoothly. That is, after the feeding disc completes one clockwise rotation and reaches the preset angle and is limited, it can still continue to move upwards, followed by counterclockwise rotation and downward displacement, repeating this cycle to achieve stable and precise feeding operation for gluten.

[0019] In practical applications, the gluten feeding system disclosed in this utility model can achieve at least the following beneficial technical effects, specifically:

[0020] 1) When the feeding disc rotates circumferentially to the preset angle, the side top component and the blocking component make contact with each other. Through the interaction force between the two, the rotation angle of the feeding disc is precisely limited within a reasonable range, so that the conveying error of the gluten body is controlled within the allowable range, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the gluten body conveying action and helping to improve the processing consistency and yield of the gluten body.

[0021] 2) While limiting the circumferential rotation of the feeding disc, the limiting unit does not interfere with the vertical displacement degree of freedom of the feeding disc. Thus, while ensuring that the feeding disc can smoothly perform compound motion, its vertical displacement motion and rotational motion do not interfere with each other. In this way, while ensuring accurate limiting, the vertical motion degree of freedom of the feeding disc is fully released, making the entire feeding system run more smoothly and stably.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] 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.

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Figure 1 , Figure 2A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the gluten winding machine disclosed in this utility model is shown, indicating that it includes a machine platform 1, a gluten feeding mechanism 2, a gluten shaping mechanism 3, and a gluten transfer mechanism 4. The gluten feeding mechanism 2 is placed and fixed on the machine platform 1, while the gluten shaping mechanism 3 and the gluten transfer mechanism 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, and then fed evenly and stably to the cutting and winding station according to a set amount by the gluten transfer mechanism 4.

[0035] It is known that the material feeding process is a critical step in the gluten processing flow. For example... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the gluten transfer machine 4 mainly consists of a gluten feeding system 41 and a guide plate 42. The guide plate 42 is placed on and fixed to the top wall of the machine base 1. It is formed by spirally winding guide strips and incidentally forms a transfer channel for the free flow of gluten. With the help of the feeding force of the gluten feeding system 41, the gluten can intermittently move in a directional manner along the transfer channel until it is conveyed to the edge of the guide plate 42.

[0036] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown in the diagram, the gluten feeding system 41 mainly consists of a feeding disc 411, a power unit, and a limiting unit 412. The power unit, serving as the power source for the gluten feeding system 41, transmits power to the base plate 4111 via a transmission mechanism and is concealed directly beneath the machine platform 1. The feeding disc 411, used for conveying the gluten, mainly consists of the base plate 4111, a support assembly 4112, and a feeding assembly 4113. The base plate 4111 is directly connected to the power unit and serves as the mounting base for the support assembly 4112. The support assembly 4112 consists of multiple support beams 41121 evenly distributed around the central axis of the base plate, which work together to support the feeding assembly 4113. The base plate 4111, as a crucial hub, not only receives the power input but also provides a stable mounting base for the support assembly 4112. The support assembly 4112, composed of multiple circumferentially distributed support beams 41121, evenly distributes power to the material feeding assembly 4113. During rotational motion, the base plate 4111 drives the support assembly 4112 and the material feeding assembly 4113 to rotate alternately clockwise and counterclockwise within a certain angle range, with the central axis of the base plate 4111 as the reference. The vertical displacement motion causes the material feeding disc 411 to periodically rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby driving the gluten material to be conveyed in a directional, periodic, and intermittent mode along the flow channel. The limiting unit 412 is used to limit the rotational limit position of the material feeding disc 411 in a single material feeding action, and the limiting unit 412 does not interfere with the vertical displacement degree of freedom of the material feeding disc.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the limiting unit 412 mainly includes a blocking component 4121 and a side-top component 4122. The side-top component 4122 is mounted on the feed plate 411 and is spaced a set distance from the blocking component 4121. When the feed plate 411 rotates circumferentially to a preset angle, the side-top component 4122 and the blocking component 4121 engage to limit the circumferential rotation angle of the feed plate 411.

[0038] In practical applications, driven by the power unit, the feeding disc 411 synchronously performs a composite motion of reciprocating rotation and reciprocating up-and-down displacement. When the feeding disc 411 rotates circumferentially under the drive of the power unit, the side-top assembly 4122 rotates synchronously. When the feeding disc 411 rotates to a preset angle, the side-top assembly 4122 contacts and engages with the blocking assembly 4121. At this time, the blocking assembly 4121, through its interaction with the side-top assembly 4122, restricts the feeding disc 411 from continuing to rotate circumferentially, thereby precisely controlling the rotation limit position of the feeding disc 411 in a single feeding action. Furthermore, while restricting the circumferential rotation of the feeding disc 411, the limiting unit 412 does not interfere with the displacement freedom of the feeding disc in the vertical direction, ensuring that the feeding disc 411 can freely perform reciprocating vertical displacement motion in the vertical direction, so that the compound motion of reciprocating rotation and reciprocating vertical displacement can be executed smoothly. That is, after the feeding disc 411 completes one clockwise rotation and reaches the preset angle and is limited, it can still continue to move upward, and then perform counterclockwise rotation and downward displacement, and so on, to achieve stable and precise feeding operation for gluten.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, when the feeding disc 411 rotates circumferentially to a preset angle, the side top component 4122 and the blocking component 4121 make contact with each other. Through the interaction force between the two, the rotation angle of the feeding disc 411 is precisely limited within a reasonable range, thereby controlling the conveying error of the gluten body within the allowable range, thus ensuring the accuracy of the gluten body conveying action and helping to improve the processing consistency and yield of the gluten body.

[0040] It should also be emphasized that while limiting the circumferential rotation of the feeding disc 411, the limiting unit 412 does not interfere with the vertical displacement freedom of the feeding disc 411. Thus, while ensuring that the feeding disc 411 can smoothly perform compound motion, its vertical displacement motion and rotational motion do not interfere with each other. In this way, while ensuring accurate limiting, the vertical displacement freedom of the feeding disc 411 is fully released, making the entire gluten feeding system 41 run more smoothly and stably.

[0041] like Figures 6-8As shown, the blocking assembly 4121 mainly consists of a load-bearing column 41211, a side stop 41212, and fastening bolts 41213. The load-bearing column 41211 is placed vertically on the machine platform and is fixed as a whole. The side stop 41212 is installed on one side of the load-bearing column 41211 by means of two sets of fastening bolts 41213. The side top assembly 4122 mainly consists of a load-bearing seat 41221 and a rolling bearing 41222. The load-bearing seat 41221 is in contact with a specific support beam 41121 and is fixed by welding. The rolling bearing 41222 uses the load-bearing seat 41221 as its mounting base and can freely perform circumferential rotation when subjected to rotational torque.

[0042] In actual operation, the power unit transmits driving force to the feeding disc 411 to drive it to perform circumferential rotation, while the rolling bearing 41222 rotates synchronously. When the feeding disc 411 rotates to a preset angle, the rolling bearing 41222 contacts the side stop 41212, which effectively limits the circumferential rotation angle of the feeding disc 411 and ensures that it moves within the set range.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that during the reciprocating up-and-down displacement motion of the feeding disc 411, the rolling bearing 41222 can move freely up and down along the side stop 41212 without interfering with the vertical displacement freedom of the feeding disc 411. Simultaneously, the rolling bearing 41222 rotates circumferentially under the frictional force of the side stop 41212, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, greatly reducing wear between components and lowering equipment maintenance costs. This not only ensures the precise positioning of the feeding disc 411 but also guarantees the smooth operation of its compound motion, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the gluten feeding system 41.

[0044] As another modified design of the blocking component 4121, such as Figure 9As shown, the difference between this design and the one described above is that the blocking assembly 4121 is equipped with two sets of columnar springs 41214. The columnar springs 41214 are fitted onto the fastening bolts 41213 and are elastically compressed between the load-bearing column 41211 and the side stop 41212. In this way, the columnar springs 41214 can achieve the design purpose of adaptive adjustment of the relative position of the side stop 41212 through elastic deformation. That is, when the feeding disc 411 rotates and deviates due to long-term operation, the columnar springs 41214 can be freely compressed or extended, and the relative position of the side stop 41212 can be adjusted by itself to ensure that the rolling bearing 41222 and the side stop 41212 make precise contact and stably limit the circumferential rotation angle of the feeding disc 411. On the other hand, the column spring 41214 has a buffer and shock absorption function. That is, at the moment when the rolling bearing 41222 and the side stop 41212 come into contact, the column spring 41214 absorbs the impact energy immediately. This not only effectively avoids vibration and noise caused by rigid collision, but also helps to extend the service life of the blocking component 4121.

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.
