Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of taro ball production technology, specifically a taro ball cutting device for taro ball production. Background Technology

[0002] Taro balls are a type of round or block-shaped food, generally made from flour. During the production process, they need to be extruded into strips and then cut. They can also be mixed with different colored materials to produce different colors. However, the existing dicing equipment still has some defects in its use. Because taro balls contain a lot of starch, they are easy to stick to the cutting blade and cutting board when dicing them, which is troublesome to remove and causes waste of taro ball raw materials.

[0003] Patent CN220499228U discloses a dicing device for taro ball production. First, when taro strips are squeezed onto the conveyor belt, the second cylinder is activated to drive the cutting blade to move up and down. When the taro strips are below the cutting blade, they can be diced. At the same time, the first motor can be activated to drive the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the nut pair to rotate and move, causing the sliding block to move, which in turn drives the scraper to move. Then, starch is placed in the placement chamber, and the moving scraper pushes the starch out from the holes on the material plate and onto the taro strips to be diced, reducing the amount of taro strips sticking to the cutting blade and the cutting plate, reducing trouble and waste.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the device solves the problems mentioned above. However, the device still has the following problems: during the use of the device, starch needs to be sprinkled on the upper end of the conveyor belt to prevent the taro balls from sticking to the cutter. However, during this process, the starch on the upper end of the conveyor belt cannot fully contact the taro balls, and the starch on the upper end will fall directly when the conveyor belt rotates. In addition, the bottom plate is directly set at the lower end of the conveyor belt, which easily causes starch waste and increases the cost of using the device.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, innovative design based on the existing device structure is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dicing device for taro ball production, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, during the use of the device, starch needs to be sprinkled on the upper end of the conveyor belt to prevent the taro balls from sticking to the cutter. However, in this process, the starch on the upper end of the conveyor belt cannot fully contact the taro balls, and the starch on the upper end falls directly down during the rotation of the conveyor belt. Furthermore, the lower end of the conveyor belt is directly equipped with a base plate, which easily leads to starch waste and increases the operating cost of the device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a granulation device for taro ball production, comprising a support plate and a support rod fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate;

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 The basic operating process of the pelletizing device is shown in the figure.

[0030] The support plate 1 and the support rod 2 fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 1 are provided. The upper end of the support rod 2 is fixedly installed with an operating platform 3, and the upper end of the operating platform 3 is fixedly installed with a working structure 4 and a support frame 6. The upper end of the working structure 4 is provided with a feed inlet 5, and the end of the working structure 4 near the support frame 6 is fixedly installed with a discharge structure 23. The lower end of the support frame 6 is provided with a lifting structure 7, and the outer side of the lifting structure 7 is provided with a cutting blade 8 and a spreading frame 9. The outer side of the operating platform 3 is provided with a receiving frame 10, and the inside of the operating platform 3 is provided with a conveyor belt 11. The outer side of the operating platform 3 is provided with a driving structure 12 for driving the conveyor belt 11.

[0031] When using the taro ball production granulation device, the taro ball powder needs to be granulated. During this process, the taro ball powder is added into the working structure 4 through the feed inlet 5. The working structure 4 then extrudes the taro ball powder into strips through the discharge structure 23, causing it to fall onto the upper end of the conveyor belt 11. At this time, the drive structure 12 drives the conveyor belt 11 to move and is located at the lower end of the support frame 6. At this time, the lifting structure 7 moves and drives the cutting blade 8 and the spreading frame 9 to move down. The cutting blade 8 granulates the strip-shaped taro balls, and the lower end of the spreading frame 9 sprinkles starch, causing it to scatter on the upper end of the taro balls, reducing the possibility of the blade sticking to the taro balls, thus completing the granulation process of the device. Afterwards, the starch adhering to the upper end of the conveyor belt 11 can be cleaned by the cleaning roller brush 15 and the main cleaning roller brush 16 to avoid wasting starch. At the same time, the starch cleaned off the outside of the conveyor belt 11 is collected in the collection frame 27 for subsequent reuse.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 The process of cleaning starch adhering to the lower end of the conveyor belt 11 inside the device is shown.

[0033] A drive motor 13 is fixedly installed on the outside of the operating platform 3, and a protective cover 14 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the operating platform 3. A secondary cleaning roller brush 15 and a main cleaning roller brush 16 are rotatably installed inside the protective cover 14. A pulley structure 17 is provided on the outside of the secondary cleaning roller brush 15 and the main cleaning roller brush 16, and the pulley structure 17 is located on the outside of the protective cover 14. The main cleaning roller brush 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 13. At the same time, the upper ends of the secondary cleaning roller brush 15 and the main cleaning roller brush 16 are tightly attached to the lower end of the conveyor belt 11.

[0034] When using the taro ball production granulation device, the drive motor 13 needs to be activated to rotate the main cleaning roller brush 16. The rotation of the main cleaning roller brush 16 cleans the starch adhering to the lower end of the conveyor belt 11. During this process, the main cleaning roller brush 16 drives the secondary cleaning roller brush 15 to rotate via the pulley structure 17. The rotation of the secondary cleaning roller brush 15 cleans the starch adhering to the lower end of the conveyor belt 11 again. The rotation direction of the secondary cleaning roller brush 15 and the main cleaning roller brush 16 is opposite to the transmission direction of the lower end of the conveyor belt 11. At this time, the secondary cleaning roller brush 15 and the main cleaning roller brush 16 can effectively clean the starch adhering to the outside of the conveyor belt 11. The cleaned starch enters the collection box 27 through the protective cover 14 for collection. By collecting the starch inside the collection box 27, starch usage can be saved and the cleanliness of the conveyor belt 11 can be ensured.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the process of removing and reusing starch from inside the collection box 27 using this device is disclosed.

[0036] A telescopic rod 18 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 1, and a support spring 19 is sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod 18. A lifting plate 20 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the telescopic rod 18. A collection frame 27 is engaged on the upper end of the lifting plate 20. The collection frame 27 is located inside the protective cover 14, and the width of the collection frame 27 is greater than the width of the conveyor belt 11. Two sets of fixing blocks 21 are fixedly installed on the lower end of the lifting plate 20. A snap-fit ​​block 22 is slidably installed inside the fixing block 21. A return spring 24 is fixedly installed on the end of the snap-fit ​​block 22 near the lifting plate 20. Two sets of limiting rods 25 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 1. The two sets of limiting rods 25 are located outside the two sets of fixing blocks 21. A snap-fit ​​groove 26 is opened inside the limiting rod 25, and the snap-fit ​​groove 26 is engaged with the fixing block 21.

[0037] When using the taro ball production granulation device, the starch cleaned from the lower end of the conveyor belt 11 will scatter inside the collection frame 27. As the amount of starch inside the collection frame 27 increases, the pressure on the telescopic rod 18 and the support spring 19 will increase. When the collection frame 27 is about to be full of starch, the telescopic rod 18 and the support spring 19 will retract, causing the lifting plate 20 to move the collection frame 27 downward. During this process, the locking block 22 will be squeezed by the locking groove 26 and move away from it. The locking block 22 will then move and squeeze the return spring 24. After being squeezed by the locking block 22, the return spring 24 will retract. After the locking block 22 separates from the locking groove 26, the telescopic rod 18 and the support spring 19 can retract. At this time, the collection frame 27 can be removed to recycle the starch inside, thereby reducing the starch usage cost of the device, avoiding starch waste, improving the convenience of starch collection, and increasing the overall practicality of the device.

[0038] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] 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.
