Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hot pot base production process, specifically a shaping device for hot pot base. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, hot pot base, as a core component of hot pot, receives significant attention for its production process and product quality. The shaping process of hot pot base has a major impact on the product's appearance, packaging, and sales.

[0003] Currently, one production process for hot pot base involves directly filling the oil and spices separately into the same packaging bag, then sealing and cooling them. To ensure the product's appearance and ease of sale, the cooled, slab-shaped hot pot base needs to have a bottom layer of base and a top layer of tallow. Therefore, a shaping process is required after filling. The shaping equipment typically uses vibration to cause the spices in the packaging bag to sink and the tallow to float. For example, the existing technology "An Oil-Lifting and Shaping Device for Slab-Shaped Hot Pot Base Production" (Announcement No.: CN222698871U) uses a vibrating motor at the bottom of the hot pot base mold box to vibrate the box. Because oil is lighter than the fixed spices, the vibration causes the oil to float and the spices to sink, achieving a layered effect and thus shaping the product. However, the existing technology still has the following technical problems:

[0004] The existing technology uses a single box with multiple cavities for holding bagged hot pot base. However, due to the large number of cavities, the vibration force during vibration cannot be evenly distributed to the hot pot base in each cavity. In particular, the layering effect of the hot pot base in cavities farther away from the vibration motor is relatively poor. As a result, the hot pot base in the entire box has an uneven appearance after shaping, which reduces the pass rate of the hot pot base packaging and lowers the shaping quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a shaping device for hot pot base, which can solve the problem that existing shaping equipment easily causes uneven shaping effect of hot pot base, reduces the qualified rate of hot pot base packaging appearance, and thus reduces the shaping quality.

[0006] This application provides the following technical solution: a shaping device for hot pot base, including a chain conveyor belt and a shaping mechanism located above the chain conveyor belt;

[0007] The shaping mechanism includes a mounting frame located above the chain conveyor belt, a guide column vertically slidably connected to the mounting frame, and a pressure plate hinged to the bottom of the guide column. A drive cylinder is provided in the middle of the mounting frame, and the bottom of the piston rod of the drive cylinder is hinged to the pressure plate. The drive cylinder is used to control the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate.

[0008] Multiple pressure plates are evenly spaced along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor belt, and each pressure plate is individually controlled by a drive cylinder; the pressure plate is strip-shaped, and pneumatic vibrators are evenly arranged above the pressure plate along its length.

[0009] Beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. Uniform Vibration Coverage and Improved Shaping Quality. A driving cylinder moves a pressure plate from above the chain conveyor belt, pressing down on the hot pot base. The strip-shaped pressure plate effectively matches the shape of the chain conveyor belt, ensuring complete coverage of the hot pot base and improving its flattening effect. Simultaneously, pneumatic vibrators evenly distributed along the length of the pressure plate, along with guide columns, ensure the pressure plate moves vertically, allowing the plate surface to evenly press against the upper surface of the hot pot base. This allows the vibration force to act directly and evenly on the surface of the hot pot base, ensuring each piece of hot pot base under the pressure plate experiences uniform vibration. Spices and chili peppers sink while tallow rises, achieving thorough separation of the oil and other components. Compared to existing technologies that transmit vibration through a box, this solution reduces energy loss in the vibration path, particularly improving the layering effect of hot pot base far from the vibration source, eliminating shaping blind spots, and enhancing shaping quality.

[0011] 2. Multiple pressure plates and stitching ensure shaping quality. Each pressure plate is equipped with an independent drive cylinder, allowing each batch of hot pot base to be shaped multiple times by multiple pressure plates as it flows along the conveyor belt. For example, the initial vibration can quickly break up clumps inside the base, promoting the initial separation of oil and spices. The continuous vibration of subsequent pressure plates further pushes the spices to sink and the oil to float, improving the thoroughness of layering through a cumulative effect. This avoids the problem of insufficient layering caused by insufficient time in a single vibration, thus ensuring the shaping effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes positioning plates fixed on both sides of the chain conveyor belt, two long longitudinal beams mounted between the positioning plates, two cross beams fixed between the two long longitudinal beams, a short longitudinal beam fixed between the two cross beams, and a cross plate fixed at the bottom of the long longitudinal beams and the short longitudinal beams. The drive cylinder is fixed on the cross plate, and the guide column is slidably connected to the cross beam.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The drive cylinder is fixed on the horizontal plate and positioned close to the pressure plate below, shortening the power transmission path, reducing energy loss, and ensuring that the drive cylinder can quickly and accurately control the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate; the guide column is slidably connected to the horizontal beam, forming a reasonable vertical linkage structure with the drive cylinder and the pressure plate, ensuring that the pressure plate slides stably along the guide column during the lifting and lowering process, avoiding deviation, and enabling the pressure plate to accurately act on the hot pot base, improving the shaping accuracy.

[0014] Furthermore, the cross plate is located at the midpoint between the long longitudinal beam and the short longitudinal beam.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The layout of the centrally distributed points ensures that the drive cylinder is positioned at the reasonable center of the mounting bracket. The power output of the drive cylinder can be applied more evenly to the pressure plate below. When the pressure plate descends to shape the hot pot base, the force on each part is uniform, and the pressure plate will not tilt due to the displacement of the drive cylinder. This ensures that each bag of hot pot base can receive consistent and precise shaping treatment, improving the uniformity of the product shaping effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom end of the guide column is connected to the pressure plate via a universal connector, and the bottom end of the piston rod of the drive cylinder is connected to the pressure plate via a universal connector.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The high-frequency vibrations generated during the operation of pneumatic vibrators can easily cause equipment resonance. The flexible connection characteristics of universal connectors can effectively absorb vibration energy, reduce the transmission of vibration to components such as guide columns and drive cylinders, reduce equipment wear and failure rate, and extend equipment service life.

[0018] Furthermore, the guide posts are symmetrically arranged on the crossbeams on both sides of the cross plate, and the installation position of each guide post is located on the center line of the length direction of each pressure plate.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The guide column is located on the center line of the length direction of the pressure plate, providing a precise vertical guide path for the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate, ensuring that the pressure plate always presses down vertically, avoiding the shaping deviation caused by the offset of the pressure plate, making the spices and butter layer more even and thorough, and significantly improving the shaping quality and appearance qualification rate of hot pot base.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a shaping device for hot pot base includes a chain conveyor belt and a shaping mechanism located above the chain conveyor belt; as Figure 1 As shown, the chain plate conveyor belt includes a frame 3 and a chain plate 2 located between the frame 3. Multiple bags of hot pot base 1 are placed on the chain plate 2. During conveying, the chain plate 2 is driven by the chain to convey from left to right. The chain plate conveyor belt is existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0028] The shaping mechanism includes a mounting frame located above the chain conveyor belt, a guide post 7 vertically slidably connected to the mounting frame, and a pressure plate 5 hinged to the bottom end of the guide post 7, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting frame includes positioning plates 9 fixed on the frame 3 on both sides of the chain conveyor belt, two long longitudinal beams 4 fixed between the positioning plates 9, two cross beams 6 fixed between the two long longitudinal beams 4, a short longitudinal beam 8 fixed between the two cross beams 6, and a cross plate 11 fixed at the bottom of the long longitudinal beams 4 and the short longitudinal beams 8.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal plate 11 is located at the midpoint between the long longitudinal beam 4 and the short longitudinal beam 8; multiple drive cylinders 12 are fixed on the horizontal plate 11 along its length; multiple guide posts 7 are symmetrically arranged on the horizontal beams 6 on both sides of the horizontal plate 11, and the guide posts 7 are slidably connected to the horizontal beams 6 in the vertical direction, as shown. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a strip-shaped pressure plate 5 is provided below the entire shaping mechanism. Multiple pressure plates 5 are evenly spaced along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor belt. The top of the pressure plate 5 is connected to the bottom end of the guide column 7 and the bottom end of the piston rod 13 of the drive cylinder 12 through a universal connector 14. The installation position of each guide column 7 is located on the center line of the length direction of each pressure plate 5. Each pressure plate 5 is individually controlled to lift by a drive cylinder 12 located at the center of the pressure plate 5.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown in this embodiment, pneumatic vibrators 10 are uniformly arranged at three equal points along the length of each pressure plate 5. The pneumatic vibrator 10 is model GT-10, with a rated air pressure of 0.4 MPa, a frequency of 42 v / pm, and a vibration force of 210 N.

[0031] The shaping method of this device is as follows:

[0032] Under the operation of the chain conveyor belt, Figure 1 The hot pot base 1 on the chain conveyor 2 moves from left to right. When it reaches below the pressure plate 5, the chain conveyor belt stops, and the drive cylinder 12 drives the pressure plate 5 vertically downward, pressing the bottom surface of the pressure plate 5 firmly against the upper surface of the hot pot base 1. Then, the pneumatic vibrator 10 is activated, causing the pressure plate 5 to vibrate at high frequency, so that each piece of hot pot base 1 under the pressure plate 5 can be evenly shaken. This causes spices and chili peppers to sink under vibration, while the beef tallow floats to the top, achieving complete separation of the oil and the base. After the vibration reaches the set time, the pneumatic vibrator 10 stops, the drive cylinder 12 retracts, and the pressure plate 5 resets. The chain conveyor belt continues to run, and the above shaping operation is repeated when the next set of hot pot base 1 moves below the pressure plate 5.
