Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of biscuit processing equipment, specifically to a tipping machine for biscuit processing production. Background Technology

[0002] In the biscuit processing industry, dough unloading is a crucial step connecting raw material handling and forming processes. However, due to the strong stickiness of dough, traditional unloading methods face numerous challenges, severely restricting production efficiency and processing quality.

[0003] Currently, most biscuit manufacturers use tipping bucket unloading equipment to transfer dough from storage containers to subsequent processing stages. However, during the unloading process, sticky dough easily adheres to the inner wall of the hopper, leaving a significant amount of material residue even after the unloading is complete. This residual dough not only wastes raw materials but also affects the proportioning accuracy of the next batch of dough, thus interfering with product quality stability. To clean up the residual dough, workers must frequently use scrapers and other tools to manually remove it. This operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, extending the unloading cycle, but also increasing the intensity of manual labor. Furthermore, manual cleaning carries the risk of damaging the inner wall of the hopper, reducing equipment lifespan and increasing maintenance costs.

[0004] Furthermore, frequent manual intervention prevents continuous and automated unloading operations, forcing production to halt. The dough may spoil due to prolonged exposure while awaiting cleaning, affecting product quality. In large-scale production scenarios, the problem of low unloading efficiency is particularly prominent, becoming a bottleneck restricting the overall capacity improvement of biscuit production lines.

[0005] Therefore, developing a dumping machine for biscuit processing that can effectively solve the problem of dough residue during unloading and improve unloading speed and automation is of great significance for improving biscuit production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring product quality consistency. It is also an urgent need to promote the development of the biscuit processing industry towards high efficiency and intelligence. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a tipping machine for biscuit processing, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that sticky dough easily adheres to the inner wall of the hopper during the unloading process, and even after the tipping action is completed, there will still be a large amount of material residue.

[0007] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a tipping machine for biscuit processing, comprising:

[0008] A support frame and a hopper, wherein the hopper is mounted on the support frame;

[0009] A connecting seat and a lifting and closing assembly are provided, wherein the connecting seat is disposed on the upright frame and the lifting and closing assembly is disposed between the upright frame and the hopper;

[0010] A tilting discharge assembly is disposed in the connecting seat and the hopper;

[0011] An anti-stick component, wherein the anti-stick component is disposed on the outside of the upright;

[0012] The anti-stick component includes a side plate, which is fixed to the surface of the upright. A telescopic cylinder is installed on the side plate, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to a docking cover. One end of the docking cover is inserted into one side of the hopper and communicates with the inside of the hopper. A flour hopper is provided at the top of the docking cover, and an air inlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the docking cover.

[0013] As a further technical solution, a constriction blocking block is provided inside the docking cover, and a perforated plate is provided inside the docking cover. The connection between the air inlet pipe and the docking cover is located below the gap between the constriction blocking block and the perforated plate.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the tilting discharge assembly includes a drive motor, which is mounted on the side surface of the connecting seat. The hopper is rotatably connected to the connecting seat, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the connecting seat.

[0015] As a further technical solution, a second motor is provided on one side of the hopper, and a scraper is rotatably connected inside the hopper via a rotating shaft. The output end of the second motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the hopper.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the lifting and closing assembly includes a guide rail, which is fixed to the side surface of the upright, and the connecting seat is slidably connected to the guide rail. A lifting cylinder is provided on the side surface of the upright and is connected to the connecting seat. A cover plate is provided on the surface of the upright.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the hopper has a semi-circular structure, and one end of the scraper is in contact with the inner wall of the hopper.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the drive motor can control the hopper to rotate 180°.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the docking cover is sealed and fitted to the hopper, and the side end face of the docking cover matches the internal curvature of the hopper.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0021] 1. In this disclosure, the anti-stick component achieves hopper anti-sticking by combining airflow with flour. The telescopic cylinder pushes the docking cover to insert into the hopper, and the air inlet pipe introduces high-pressure gas. Under the action of the constriction blocking block and the perforated plate, turbulence is formed, which drives the flour in the flour hopper to be sprayed into the inner wall of the hopper in a mist, forming a uniform anti-sticking isolation layer. Compared with manual flour sprinkling, it is more uniform and efficient, reduces the adhesion between the dough and the hopper, reduces residue from the source, and improves unloading efficiency.

[0022] 2. In this disclosure, the flipping discharge component uses a drive motor and a scraper to complete rapid unloading and cleaning. The drive motor drives the hopper to flip 180°, and the dough is quickly discharged under the action of gravity. The second motor drives the scraper to rotate close to the inner wall of the semi-circular hopper to clean the residual dough. The unloading and cleaning are efficiently connected, which solves the problem of residue in traditional unloading, avoids the dough from drying and affecting the next use, and improves the unloading efficiency and hopper cleanliness.

[0023] 3. In this disclosure, the lifting and sealing assembly uses guide rails and lifting cylinders to achieve hopper sealing and positioning. The lifting cylinder drives the connecting seat to move up and down along the guide rails. When it rises, the hopper and the cover plate fit together to seal the top, preventing the dough from drying out and deteriorating and from being contaminated by the outside. When it falls, it makes room for the flipping and discharging. The structure is simple and reliable, ensuring that the dough storage environment is sealed and does not affect the unloading operation.

[0035] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a tipping machine for biscuit processing production is illustrated in one embodiment of this disclosure, comprising:

[0037] A support frame 1 and a hopper 2, wherein the hopper 2 is mounted on the support frame 1;

[0038] The connecting seat 3 and the lifting and closing assembly 6 are provided. The connecting seat 3 is disposed on the upright frame 1, and the lifting and closing assembly 6 is disposed between the upright frame 1 and the hopper 2.

[0039] A tilting discharge assembly 5 is disposed in the connecting seat 3 and the hopper 2;

[0040] Anti-stick component 4, the anti-stick component 4 being disposed on the outside of the upright 1;

[0041] The anti-stick component 4 includes a side plate 4-1, which is fixed to the surface of the upright 1. A telescopic cylinder 4-2 is installed on the side plate 4-1. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 4-2 is connected to a docking cover 4-3. One end of the docking cover 4-3 is inserted into one side of the hopper 2 and communicates with the inside of the hopper 2. A flour hopper 4-4 is provided on the top of the docking cover 4-3. An air inlet pipe 4-5 is provided on the bottom of the docking cover 4-3. A narrowing blocking block 4-6 is provided inside the docking cover 4-3. A perforated plate 4-7 is provided inside the docking cover 4-3. The connection between the air inlet pipe 4-5 and the docking cover 4-3 is located below the gap between the narrowing blocking block 4-6 and the perforated plate 4-7.

[0042] In some examples, an anti-sticking component 4 is designed to solve the dough sticking problem. A telescopic cylinder 4-2 on the side plate 4-1 pushes the docking cover 4-3 into one side of the hopper 2, connecting it to the interior of the hopper 2. Flour in the flour hopper 4-4 falls naturally under gravity, while high-pressure gas is introduced into the docking cover 4-3 through the air inlet pipe 4-5. The airflow creates turbulence between the constriction block 4-6 and the perforated plate 4-7, causing the flour to spread evenly. The high-speed airflow carries the flour and sprays it as a mist onto the inner wall of the hopper 2, forming a uniform anti-sticking isolation layer on the surface of the hopper 2. This method of covering the flour with air not only significantly improves efficiency compared to traditional manual flour sprinkling but also ensures even flour distribution, effectively reducing the adhesion between the dough and the inner wall of the hopper 2, facilitating the unloading process, reducing residual material at the source, and improving unloading efficiency.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the present embodiment proposes that the flipping discharge assembly 5 includes a drive motor 5-1, the drive motor 5-1 is mounted on the side surface of the connecting seat 3, the hopper 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 3, the output end of the drive motor 5-1 is connected to the connecting seat 3, a second motor 5-2 is provided on one side of the hopper 2, and a scraper 5-3 is rotatably connected inside the hopper 2 through a rotating shaft, and the output end of the second motor 5-2 is connected to the rotating shaft of the hopper 2.

[0044] In some examples, a flipping discharge assembly 5 is designed to achieve rapid discharge and cleaning. The drive motor 5-1 drives the hopper 2 to flip rapidly on the connecting seat 3, causing the dough inside the hopper 2 to be quickly discharged under gravity. After most of the dough has been discharged, the second motor 5-2 inside the hopper 2 drives the scraper 5-3 to rotate around the axis of rotation. The scraper 5-3 adheres closely to the inner wall of the hopper 2, thoroughly scraping away any remaining dough. The coordinated operation of the drive motor 5-1 and the second motor 5-2 ensures both rapid discharge of the dough and timely cleaning of the hopper 2, preventing residual dough from drying and affecting future use. This efficient connection between the discharge and cleaning processes significantly improves discharge efficiency and the cleanliness of the hopper 2 compared to the traditional single flipping discharge method.

[0045] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the lifting and closing assembly 6 proposed in this embodiment includes a guide rail 6-1, the guide rail 6-1 is fixed on the side surface of the upright 1, the connecting seat 3 is slidably connected to the guide rail 6-1, the side surface of the upright 1 is provided with a lifting cylinder 6-2, the lifting cylinder 6-2 is connected to the connecting seat 3, and the surface of the upright 1 is provided with a cover plate 6-3.

[0046] In some examples, a lifting and sealing assembly 6 is designed to achieve top sealing of hopper 2. The guide rail 6-1 on the side surface of the stand 1 provides a stable vertical sliding guide for the connecting seat 3, and the lifting cylinder 6-2 drives the connecting seat 3 to move up and down along the guide rail 6-1. When the connecting seat 3 rises to the top, hopper 2 rises accordingly, tightly fitting against the cover plate 6-3 on the surface of the stand 1, achieving complete sealing of the top of hopper 2 and preventing the dough from drying out, spoiling, or becoming contaminated during storage. When descending, the connecting seat 3 moves hopper 2 downwards, making room for the tipping and unloading process. This vertical lifting and sealing structure achieves opening and closing control of hopper 2 through simple mechanical transmission, ensuring a reliable and sealed dough storage environment without affecting the smooth unloading operation.

[0047] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hopper 2 has a semi-circular structure, and one end of the scraper 5-3 is attached to the inner wall of the hopper 2.

[0048] In some examples, the semi-circular structure allows the scraper 5-3 to rotate one revolution, which can thoroughly clean the inside of the hopper 2.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive motor 5-1 can control the hopper 2 to rotate 180°.

[0050] In some examples, a 180° rotation allows the dough to roll downwards inside the hopper 2 and eventually fall down.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the docking cover 4-3 is sealed and fitted to the hopper 2, and the side end face of the docking cover 4-3 matches the internal curvature of the hopper 2.

[0052] In some examples, the sealing effect prevents excessive air pressure from causing flour leakage, and does not affect the rotation of scraper 5-3.

[0053] In actual use: After fixing the upright frame 1, install the connecting seat 3 and the hopper 2 on the upright frame 1. Install the lifting and sealing assembly 6 between the upright frame 1 and the hopper 2. The guide rail 6-1 is fixed to the side surface of the upright frame 1. The connecting seat 3 is slidably connected to the guide rail 6-1. The lifting cylinder 6-2 is connected to the connecting seat 3. Install the cover plate 6-3 on the surface of the upright frame 1. Install the tilting discharge assembly 5 in the connecting seat 3 and the hopper 2. Install the drive motor 5-1 on the side surface of the connecting seat 3. Rotately connect the hopper 2 to the connecting seat 3. Connect the scraper 5-3 inside the hopper 2 through a rotating shaft. Connect the second motor 5-2 to the rotating shaft. Install the anti-stick assembly 4 on the outside of the upright frame 1. Fix the side plate 4-1 to the surface of the upright frame 1. Install the telescopic cylinder 4-2 on the side plate 4-1. The output end is connected to the docking cover 4-3, which is inserted into one side of the hopper 2. The top is equipped with a flour hopper 4-4, and the bottom is equipped with an air inlet pipe 4-5. The docking cover 4-3 is equipped with a narrowing blocking block 4-6 and a perforated plate 4-7. When in use, the lifting cylinder 6-2 drives the connecting seat 3 to rise, and the cover plate 6-3 closes the top of the hopper 2. The dough is put into the hopper 2. When unloading, the lifting cylinder 6-2 descends, and the drive motor 5-1 drives the hopper 2 to rotate 180° to unload. The second motor 5-2 drives the scraper 5-3 to clean the inner wall of the hopper 2. Before unloading, the telescopic cylinder 4-2 pushes the docking cover 4-3 to insert into the hopper 2, the flour hopper 4-4 puts in flour, and the air inlet pipe 4-5 introduces high-pressure gas. The airflow drives the flour to form an anti-stick layer on the inner wall of the hopper 2.

[0054] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
