Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato cake production, and in particular to a pressing device for potato cake production. Background Technology
[0002] A pressing device is a machine used in the production of potato cakes to press potato puree or mixtures into the desired shape.
[0003] When using a potato cake press to shape potato cakes, the pre-processed potato dough falls onto the conveyor belt. The motor is then started, driving the shaft to rotate, which in turn moves the conveyor belt along the press to transport the potato dough. Once the dough reaches the inside of the support frame, the conveying stops, and the cylinder is activated to drive the pressure plate to extrude and shape the potato dough on the conveyor belt. Because the potato dough from the previous step may have different shapes, the shapes and sizes of the extruded cakes will vary when they are extruded by the pressure plate, affecting subsequent processing and use, and reducing the quality of the potato cakes. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is as follows: When using a potato cake press to shape potato cakes, the previously processed quantitative potato dough falls onto the conveyor belt. Then, the motor is started to drive the shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to move on the press and convey the potato dough. Once the dough reaches the inside of the support frame, the conveying stops, and then the cylinder is activated to drive the pressure plate to extrude and shape the potato dough on the conveyor belt. Because the potato dough processed in the previous step may have different shapes, the shapes and sizes of the extruded cakes vary when they are extruded by the pressure plate, which affects subsequent processing and use, and reduces the quality of the potato cakes.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a pressing device for potato cake production, including a pressing machine and a conveyor belt. The inner wall of the pressing machine is symmetrically fitted with round shafts. The inner wall of the conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer surface of two round shafts and one end of the pressing machine. A motor is fixedly installed on one side of the pressing machine. The output end of the motor is fixedly installed on one side of one of the round shafts via a coupling. A bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the pressing machine. A cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket. A limiting device is provided through one side of the cylinder's output end, penetrating the bracket. This limiting device allows the pressing plate to limit the size of the extruded potato dough by using a limiting cover, thus achieving the effect of consistent size for each extruded potato cake.
[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: When forming potato cakes using a cake press, the previously processed quantitative potato dough falls onto the conveyor belt. The motor is then started, driving the shaft to rotate, which in turn moves the conveyor belt across the cake press, transporting the potato dough. Once the dough reaches the inside of the support frame, the conveyor stops, and the cylinder is activated to drive the pressure plate to extrude and shape the potato dough on the conveyor belt. During extrusion, a protective cover limits the movement of the potato dough, ensuring that the pressure plate, after extruding a quantitative amount of potato dough of varying shapes, produces potato cakes of uniform size. This effectively improves the precision and consistency of potato cake forming, guarantees the quality standard of each potato cake, reduces the defect rate in production, and facilitates subsequent processing and use.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting device includes a pressure plate, a screw hole block, and bolts, wherein one side of the screw hole block is fixedly installed on one side of the pressure plate, and one end of the screw hole block is inserted into the inner wall of the cylinder output end and fixed by bolts; a limiting cover, wherein the inner wall of the limiting cover is slidably connected to the outer surface of the pressure plate, and a plurality of protrusions are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting cover; and a plurality of first springs, wherein the two ends of the first springs are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the protrusions and one side of the pressure plate.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: By setting a limiting device, the screw hole block on one side of the pressure plate can be inserted into the inner wall of the cylinder output end and fixed with bolts, so that the pressure plate and the limiting cover can be fixed on the cylinder output end. In this way, when the cylinder drives the output end to move downward to extrude and shape the potato dough, the limiting cover will first abut against the conveyor belt to protect the potato dough. Then, as the pressure plate continues to press down in the protective cover, the first spring is stretched open, the potato dough is squeezed out, and then, under the limitation of the limiting cover, it is pressed into potato cakes of uniform size. This effectively improves the accuracy and consistency of potato cake shaping, ensures the quality standard of each potato cake, reduces the defect rate in production, and facilitates subsequent processing and use.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting device further includes a plurality of telescopic rods, wherein the outer surface of the telescopic rods is installed through the inner wall of the first spring, and both ends are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the protrusion and one side of the pressure plate.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting the telescopic rod, the inner wall of the first spring can be supported and reinforced, making it less prone to damage during use and increasing its service life.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the screw hole block has a trapezoidal longitudinal section, and the tapered end of the screw hole block is located at the end away from the pressure plate.
[0012] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that by setting one end of the screw hole block into a conical shape, the area of one end can be reduced, making it easier to quickly align with the inner wall of the cylinder output end and insert it, thus facilitating installation.
[0013] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on both sides of the protrusion, and one side of the reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting cover.
[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting the reinforcing rod, the connection area between the protrusion and the limiting cover can be increased, making the connection more secure and stable, and less prone to breakage or damage.
[0015] Preferably, a sealing block is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting cover, and the sealing block is made of rubber.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting a sealing block, the gap between one side of the limit cover and the conveyor belt can be reduced, preventing some dough from overflowing from the gap when the potato cakes are being extruded and shaped.
[0017] Preferably, an auxiliary device is provided between the outer surface of the limiting cover and one side of the bracket. The auxiliary device includes two limiting rods, and a sliding groove is symmetrically opened on one side of the bracket, wherein one end of the limiting rod is slidably installed in the inner wall of the sliding groove; a second spring, wherein the two ends of the second spring are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the limiting rod and one side of the inner wall of the sliding groove; and two limiting blocks, wherein one side of the limiting block is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the limiting cover, and one side of the limiting block abuts against one side of the limiting rod.
[0018] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: By setting the auxiliary device, when it is necessary to clean the bottom of the pressure plate or the bottom of the limiting cover, the limiting cover can be manually pulled upward on the outer surface of the pressure plate to a certain position, causing the first spring to be stretched open. At this time, the limiting rod is held and pulled to one end in the inner wall of the slide groove, causing the second spring to be stretched open. Then, one end of the limiting rod abuts against the limiting block. In this way, under the reset action of the second spring, the limiting rod can firmly hook the limiting block, fixing the raised limiting cover in place, exposing the internal pressure plate, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of its bottom.
[0019] Preferably, one end of the limiting rod has a T-shaped longitudinal section, and the longitudinal section of the sliding groove has a T-shaped longitudinal section.
[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting both the limiting rod and the slide groove into a T-shape, the limiting rod is less likely to wobble when sliding back and forth in the inner wall of the slide groove.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] By setting a limiting device, the screw hole block on one side of the pressure plate can be inserted into the inner wall of the cylinder output end and fixed with bolts. This fixes the pressure plate and the limiting cover to the cylinder output end. When the cylinder drives the output end downward to extrude and shape the potato dough, the limiting cover will first abut against the conveyor belt, protecting the potato dough. Then, as the pressure plate continues to press down within the protective cover, the first spring is stretched, and the potato dough is squeezed out. Under the limitation of the limiting cover, it is pressed into potato cakes of uniform size, effectively improving the accuracy and consistency of potato cake shaping, ensuring the quality standard of each potato cake, reducing the defect rate in production, and facilitating subsequent processing and use.

[0032] Figure 1-5 The diagram shows a pressing device for producing potato cakes, including a pressing machine 1 and a conveyor belt 5. Two round shafts 4 are symmetrically installed through the inner wall of the pressing machine 1. The inner wall of the conveyor belt 5 is fitted onto the outer surface of one end of the two round shafts 4 and the pressing machine 1. A motor 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the pressing machine 1. The output end of the motor 6 is fixedly installed on one side of one end of one of the round shafts 4 via a coupling. A bracket 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the pressing machine 1. A cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket 7. A limiting device 2 is provided through one side of the bracket 7 at the output end of the cylinder 8. The limiting device 2 allows the pressing plate 21 to limit the extruded potato dough around the extruded dough using a limiting cover 24 during the extrusion molding process, thus achieving the effect of uniform size for each extruded potato cake. When using the potato cake press 1 to form potato cakes, the previously processed quantitative potato dough falls onto the conveyor belt. Then, the motor 6 is started to drive the shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 5 to move on the press 1 and convey the potato dough. When the dough is conveyed into the support 7, the conveying stops, and then the cylinder 8 is started to drive the pressure plate 21 to extrude and form the potato dough on the conveyor belt 5. During the extrusion forming process, the protective cover can limit the area around the potato dough, ensuring that the pressure plate 21 can extrude a quantitative amount of potato dough of different shapes, resulting in potato cakes of uniform size. This effectively improves the accuracy and consistency of potato cake forming, ensures the quality standard of each potato cake, reduces the defect rate in production, and facilitates subsequent processing and use.
[0033] Figure 1-4The limiting device 2 shown includes a pressure plate 21, a screw hole block 22, and a bolt 23. One side of the screw hole block 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the pressure plate 21, and one end of the screw hole block 22 is inserted into the inner wall of the output end of the cylinder 8 and fixed by the bolt 23. A limiting cover 24 is provided, wherein the inner wall of the limiting cover 24 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the pressure plate 21, and a plurality of protrusions 25 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting cover 24. A plurality of first springs 26 are provided, wherein the two ends of the first springs 26 are fixedly installed on one side of the protrusions 25 and one side of the pressure plate 21, respectively. By setting the limiting device 2, the screw hole block 22 on one side of the pressure plate 21 can be inserted into the inner wall of the output end of the cylinder 8 and fixed with bolts 23, so that the pressure plate 21 and the limiting cover 24 can be fixed on the output end of the cylinder 8. In this way, when the cylinder 8 drives the output end to move downward to extrude and shape the potato dough, the limiting cover 24 will first abut against the conveyor belt 5 to protect the potato dough. Then, as the pressure plate 21 continues to press down in the protective cover, the first spring 26 is stretched open, the potato dough is squeezed open, and then, under the limitation of the limiting cover 24, it is pressed into potato cakes of uniform size, which effectively improves the accuracy and consistency of potato cake shaping, ensures the quality standard of each potato cake, reduces the defect rate in production, and facilitates subsequent processing and use.
[0034] Figure 1-4 The limiting device 2 shown also includes several telescopic rods 27, the outer surface of which is installed through the inner wall of the first spring 26, and both ends are fixedly installed on one side of the protrusion 25 and one side of the pressure plate 21, respectively. By setting the telescopic rods 27, the inner wall of the first spring 26 can be supported and reinforced, making it less prone to damage during use and improving its service life. One end of the screw hole block 22 has a trapezoidal longitudinal section, and the tapered end of the screw hole block 22 is located at the end away from the pressure plate 21. By setting one end of the screw hole block 22 to be tapered, the area at one end can be reduced, making it easier to quickly align with and insert into the inner wall of the cylinder 8 output end, thus facilitating installation.
[0035] Figure 1-4 Reinforcing rods 28 are fixedly installed on both sides of the protrusion 25 shown, with one side of the reinforcing rod 28 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting cover 24. By setting the reinforcing rods 28, the connection area between the protrusion 25 and the limiting cover 24 can be increased, making the connection more secure and stable, and less prone to breakage or damage. A sealing block 29, made of rubber, is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting cover 24. By setting the sealing block 29, the gap between one side of the limiting cover 24 and the conveyor belt 5 can be reduced, preventing some dough from overflowing from the gap when the potato cakes are being extruded and shaped.
[0036] Figure 1-4An auxiliary device 3 is provided between the outer surface of the limiting cover 24 and one side of the bracket 7. The auxiliary device 3 includes two limiting rods 33. A sliding groove 31 is symmetrically opened on one side of the bracket 7, wherein one end of the limiting rod 33 is slidably installed in the inner wall of the sliding groove 31; a second spring 32, wherein the two ends of the second spring 32 are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the limiting rod 33 and one side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 31; and two limiting blocks 34, wherein one side of the limiting block 34 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the limiting cover 24, and one side of the limiting block 34 abuts against one side of the limiting rod 33. When cleaning the bottom of the pressure plate 21 or the bottom of the limiting cover 24 is required, the limiting cover 24 can be manually pulled upwards on the outer surface of the pressure plate 21 to a certain position, causing the first spring 26 to be stretched open. At this time, the limiting rod 33 is held and pulled to one end in the inner wall of the slide groove 31, causing the second spring 32 to be stretched open. Then, one end of the limiting rod 33 abuts against the limiting block 34. Under the reset action of the second spring 32, the limiting rod 33 can firmly hook the limiting block 34, fixing the raised limiting cover 24 in place, exposing the internal pressure plate 21, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of its bottom. The longitudinal section of one end of the limiting rod 33 is T-shaped, and the longitudinal section of the slide groove 31 is T-shaped. By setting both the limiting rod 33 and the slide groove 31 to be T-shaped, the limiting rod 33 is less likely to wobble when sliding back and forth in the inner wall of the slide groove 31.
[0037] Working principle: When using the cake press 1 to form potato cakes, the screw hole block 22 on one side of the pressure plate 21 can be inserted into the inner wall of the output end of the cylinder 8 and fixed with bolts 23. This fixes the pressure plate 21 and the limiting cover 24 to the output end of the cylinder 8. During the extrusion forming process, the previously processed quantitative potato dough will fall onto the transmission belt. Then, the motor 6 is started to drive the round shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 5 to move on the cake press 1 to convey the potato dough. When the dough is conveyed into the inside of the support 7, the conveying stops. When the cylinder 8 is activated and drives the output end to move downward to extrude and shape the potato dough, the limiting cover 24 will first abut against the conveyor belt 5 to protect the potato dough. Then, as the pressure plate 21 continues to press down within the protective cover, the first spring 26 is stretched open, and the potato dough is squeezed out. Under the limitation of the limiting cover 24, it is pressed into potato cakes of uniform size, which effectively improves the accuracy and consistency of potato cake shaping, ensures the quality standard of each potato cake, reduces the defect rate in production, and facilitates subsequent processing and use.
[0038] When it is necessary to clean the bottom of the pressure plate 21 or the bottom of the limiting cover 24, the limiting cover 24 can be manually pulled upward on the outer surface of the pressure plate 21 to a certain position, causing the first spring 26 to be stretched open. At this time, hold the limiting rod 33 and pull it to one end in the inner wall of the slide groove 31, causing the second spring 32 to be stretched open. Then, one end of the limiting rod 33 abuts against the limiting block 34. In this way, under the reset action of the second spring 32, the limiting rod 33 can firmly hook the limiting block 34, fixing the raised limiting cover 24 in place, exposing the internal pressure plate 21, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of its bottom.
