Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food cooking equipment, and specifically relates to a continuous food cooking processing chamber. Background Technology

[0002] The food processing industry has a long history. It refers to an industrial system that uses products or semi-finished products from agriculture, fisheries, animal husbandry, forestry, or the chemical industry as raw materials to manufacture, extract, and process them into food or semi-finished products, exhibiting continuous and organized economic activity. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the modern food industry has developed rapidly, and the scope and depth of food processing are constantly expanding.

[0003] Because different types of bread vary in height during production, and the curing structure inside traditional curing chambers is often fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the height of different types of bread, shorter breads may not be heated sufficiently during the curing process. Extending the curing time would result in energy waste. In order to improve the color and taste of bread during the curing process, the surface of the bread needs to be brushed with oil. However, current oiling devices lack effective quantitative control methods and mostly rely on manual experience. Too much oil will make the bread too greasy, affecting the consumer's eating experience and increasing production costs. Too little oil will not achieve the desired effect, reducing the quality and market competitiveness of the bread.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a continuous food cooking chamber to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a continuous food ripening processing chamber, comprising a support platform, a conveyor belt mechanism mounted on the top of the support platform, a ripening chamber fixedly mounted on the top of the support platform, a lifting mechanism mounted inside the ripening chamber, multiple electric heating elements mounted at the bottom of the lifting mechanism, a support frame mounted on the top of the support platform, an oil brushing assembly mounted inside the support frame, chains symmetrically mounted on the oil brushing assembly, a metering mechanism mounted inside the support frame, the other ends of the two chains mounted on the metering mechanism, and an oil storage mechanism mounted on the top of the support frame, the metering mechanism being located within the cavity of the oil storage mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the conveyor belt mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the support platform. A first conveyor wheel is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor, and the first conveyor wheel is rotatably mounted on the support platform.

[0009] Furthermore, a conveyor belt is installed on the first conveyor wheel, and a second conveyor wheel is installed at the other end of the conveyor belt. The second conveyor wheel is also rotatably mounted on the support platform.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes multiple hydraulic cylinders, which are fixedly installed on the top of the curing chamber. Connecting frames are fixedly installed at the telescopic ends of the multiple hydraulic cylinders and within the curing chamber cavity. Multiple heating elements are respectively installed at the bottom of the connecting frames.

[0011] Furthermore, the brushing assembly includes a power motor, which is fixedly mounted on the support frame, and an output shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the power motor.

[0012] Furthermore, an oil brush roller is fixedly installed at the other end of the output shaft. The outer wall of the oil brush roller has multiple bristles arranged in a circumferential array. A first chain wheel is fixedly installed on the output shaft, and one end of the chain is installed on the first chain wheel.

[0013] Furthermore, the metering mechanism includes a rotating shaft, with both ends of the rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the support frame. Multiple flow regulating blocks are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, and the flow regulating blocks are arranged in a semi-circular shape. Second chain wheels are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, and the other ends of the two chains are mounted on the two second chain wheels.

[0014] Furthermore, the oil storage mechanism includes an oil storage tank, which is fixedly installed on the maturation chamber. The bottom of the maturation chamber is connected to multiple oil outlet pipes, and the middle of the multiple oil outlet pipes is connected to a cylinder. The multiple flow regulating blocks are located in the inner cavity of the multiple cylinders.

[0015] Furthermore, a semi-circular oil plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple oil outlet pipes. The semi-circular oil plate has multiple oil outlet holes. The semi-circular oil plate is located above the brush roller and is in contact with the multiple brush bristles.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model's oil brushing assembly drives the chain mounted on it to rotate, and then the chain transmits power to the metering mechanism, causing the metering mechanism to rotate on the support frame. Since the metering mechanism is located inside the oil storage mechanism, each rotation of the corresponding part of the metering mechanism in the oil storage mechanism can drive a certain amount of edible oil from the oil storage mechanism into the side of the oil brushing assembly that is not in contact with the bread. In this process, as long as the angle and speed of the metering mechanism remain consistent each time, the amount of oil flowing out of the oil storage mechanism each time can be guaranteed to be the same, thereby achieving quantitative control of the amount of oil during the oil brushing process.

[0018] The control system of this utility model sends a control signal to the lifting mechanism to start the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism can drive multiple electric heating elements on it to move up or down. The specific height depends on the actual height of the bread, thereby adjusting the heating height of the multiple electric heating elements on the bread. This avoids the electric heating elements being too high relative to the bread, which would prolong the cooking time and cause energy waste.

[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements 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 the utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model is a continuous food ripening processing chamber, including a support platform 1, a conveyor belt mechanism 2 installed on the top of the support platform 1, a ripening chamber 3 fixedly installed on the top of the support platform 1, a lifting mechanism 4 installed inside the ripening chamber 3, multiple electric heating elements 5 installed at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 4, a support frame 6 installed on the top of the support platform 1, an oil brushing assembly 7 installed inside the support frame 6, chains 8 symmetrically installed on the oil brushing assembly 7, a metering mechanism 9 installed inside the support frame 6, the other ends of the two chains 8 are installed on the metering mechanism 9, and an oil storage mechanism 10 installed on the top of the support frame 6, with the metering mechanism 9 located inside the oil storage mechanism 10.

[0033] When the conveyor belt mechanism 2 is started, the bread enters the conveyor belt mechanism 2 from the previous process. In order to adjust the position of the heating element 5 according to the height of the bread, a height detection device needs to be installed at the entrance of the ripening chamber 3. A common one is a laser sensor (laser sensors are existing technology and are not shown in the figure). After the laser sensor transmits the bread height data to the control system, the control system calculates and determines the length that the lifting mechanism 4 needs to extend or retract. Then, the control system sends a control signal to the lifting mechanism 4 to start the lifting mechanism 4. The lifting mechanism 4 can drive the multiple heating elements 5 on it to move up or down. The specific height depends on the actual height of the bread. The operation of the conveyor belt mechanism 2 can move the bread to participate in the following oiling and ripening processes.

[0034] The oil storage mechanism 10 stores edible oil needed for bread processing. The oil storage mechanism 10 is equipped with an oil inlet, through which new edible oil can be added. Due to gravity, the edible oil flows downwards, activating the oil brushing assembly 7 to rotate. The bread, driven by the conveyor belt mechanism 2, continuously moves towards the ripening chamber 3. During this movement, the bread comes into contact with the rotating oil brushing assembly 7, which brushes the oil onto the bread. Simultaneously, the oil brushing assembly 7 drives the chain 8 mounted on it to rotate. The chain 8 then transmits power to the metering mechanism 9, causing the metering mechanism 9 to rotate on the support frame 6. Since the metering mechanism 9 is located inside the oil storage mechanism 10, the corresponding components of the metering mechanism 9 within the oil storage mechanism 10... One rotation can drive a certain amount of edible oil from the oil storage mechanism 10 into the side of the oil brushing component 7 that is not in contact with the bread. During this process, as long as the angle and speed of the metering mechanism 9 remain consistent each time, the amount of oil flowing out from the oil storage mechanism 10 each time can be guaranteed to be the same, thereby achieving quantitative control of the amount of oil during the oil brushing process. As the oil brushing component 7 rotates, the new oil added by the oil brushing component 7 will be brushed onto the bread again. On the side that is not in contact with the bread, new oil will enter the oil brushing component 7 again. As the conveyor belt mechanism 2 works, the bread is continuously brought under the electric heating element 5. The electric heating element 5 (the heating of the bread by the electric heating element 5 is also existing technology, which will not be described in detail here) generates heat to cook the bread.

[0035] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 201, which is fixedly mounted on the support platform 1. A first conveyor wheel 202 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 201, and the first conveyor wheel 202 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 1.

[0036] A conveyor belt 203 is installed on the first conveyor wheel 202, and a second conveyor wheel 204 is installed on the other end of the conveyor belt 203. The second conveyor wheel 204 is also rotatably installed on the support platform 1.

[0037] The drive motor 201 starts, and the output shaft of the drive motor 201 drives the first conveyor wheel 202, which is fixedly installed thereto, to rotate. The edge of the first conveyor wheel 202 is in close contact with the conveyor belt 203. During the rotation, the friction between the two drives the conveyor belt 203 to move. The other end of the conveyor belt 203 is sleeved on the second conveyor wheel 204. The second conveyor wheel 204 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 1. When the conveyor belt 203 is driven by the first conveyor wheel 202, the friction between the conveyor belt 203 and the second conveyor wheel 204 causes the second conveyor wheel 204 to rotate synchronously. The second conveyor wheel 204 plays a supporting and guiding role, ensuring that the conveyor belt 203 runs smoothly. When the bread from the previous process enters the conveyor belt 203, it can be continuously and stably conveyed with the movement of the conveyor belt 203, and then undergoes oiling and ripening processes in sequence.

[0038] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 401, which are fixedly installed on the top of the curing chamber 3. A connecting frame 402 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the plurality of hydraulic cylinders 401 and located in the inner cavity of the curing chamber 3. A plurality of electric heating elements 5 are respectively installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 402.

[0039] After completing the height calculation, the control system sends corresponding control signals to multiple hydraulic cylinders 401 to bring the connecting frame 402 and the heating element 5 to the appropriate height. Once the heating element 5 is adjusted to the appropriate height, the control system stops sending control signals to the hydraulic cylinders 401, and the hydraulic system maintains its current state to ensure that the heating element 5 is stable in that position. Subsequently, the heating element 5 is energized and begins to bake the bread. The part of the connecting frame 402 near the heating element 5 is made of aluminum foil composite material. Aluminum foil has good reflective properties and can reflect the heat generated by the heating element 5 onto the bread below.

[0040] In one embodiment, the brushing assembly 7 includes a power motor 701, which is fixedly mounted on the support frame 6, and an output shaft 702 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the power motor 701.

[0041] The other end of the output shaft 702 is fixedly mounted with an oil brush roller 703. The outer wall of the oil brush roller 703 has a plurality of bristles 704 arranged in a circumferential array. A first chain wheel 705 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft 702. One end of the chain 8 is mounted on the first chain wheel 705.

[0042] The quantitative mechanism 9 includes a rotating shaft 901, with both ends of the rotating shaft 901 rotatably mounted on the support frame 6. Multiple flow regulating blocks 902 are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 901, and the flow regulating blocks 902 are semi-circular. Second chain wheels 903 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 901, and the other ends of the two chains 8 are mounted on the two second chain wheels 903.

[0043] The oil storage mechanism 10 includes an oil storage tank 1001, which is fixedly installed on the maturation chamber 3. The bottom of the maturation chamber 3 is connected to a plurality of oil outlet pipes 1002, and the middle of the plurality of oil outlet pipes 1002 is connected to a cylinder 1003. The plurality of flow regulating blocks 902 are located in the inner cavity of the plurality of cylinders 1003.

[0044] The bottom of the multiple oil outlet pipes 1002 is fixedly connected to a semi-circular oil plate 1004. The semi-circular oil plate 1004 has multiple oil outlet holes 1005. The semi-circular oil plate 1004 is located above the brush roller 703 and is in contact with the multiple brush bristles 704.

[0045] A power motor 701 is fixedly mounted on a support frame 6. When the bread needs to be brushed with oil, the power motor 701 is powered on and starts. The output end of the power motor 701 drives the output shaft 702, which is fixedly mounted thereto, to rotate. Since the other end of the output shaft 702 is fixedly connected to the brushing roller 703, the brushing roller 703 will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the output shaft 702. Multiple bristles 704 are distributed in a circumferential array on the outer wall of the brushing roller 703, and the bristles 704 will also move with the rotation of the brushing roller 703. A first sprocket 705 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft 702. One end of the chain 8 is mounted on the first sprocket 705, and the other end is mounted on the second sprocket 903 on the rotating shaft 901. When the output shaft 702 rotates, the first sprocket 8 moves synchronously with the rotation of the output shaft 702. The sprocket 705 rotates, driving the second sprocket 903 to rotate via the chain 8, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 901 to rotate. Multiple semi-circular flow regulating blocks 902 are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 901, located within the inner cavities of multiple cylinders 1003. The oil storage tank 1001 is fixedly mounted on the maturation chamber 3, storing edible oil. Multiple oil outlet pipes 1002 are connected to the bottom of the oil storage tank 1001, and the cylinders 1003 are connected to the middle of the oil outlet pipes 1002. When the rotating shaft 901 rotates under the drive of the chain 8, the flow regulating blocks 902 will perform circular motion within the cylinders 1003. Because the flow regulating blocks 902 are semi-circular, the rotating shaft 901 drives the flow regulating blocks... When the flow regulating block 902 rotates, its flat portion enters the area below the oil outlet pipe 1002 above the cylinder 1003. At this time, under the influence of gravity, the oil in the oil storage tank 1001 flows down the oil outlet pipe 1002. Due to the constraint of the inner wall of the cylinder 1003, the oil fills the space between the flat end of the flow regulating block 902 and the inner wall of the cylinder 1003. The volume of this space is fixed, which determines the basic volume of oil dispensed each time. As the flow regulating block 902 continues to rotate, its arc-shaped portion gradually blocks the channel of the oil outlet pipe 1002 above the cylinder 1003, and the oil outlet channel gradually narrows. When the arc-shaped portion completely blocks the channel of the oil outlet pipe 1002, the oil flow stops. During the process, as long as the angle and speed of the flow regulating block 902 remain consistent each time it rotates, the amount of oil flowing out of the oil outlet pipe 1002 can be guaranteed to be the same each time, thus achieving quantitative control of the amount of oil during the oiling process. The quantitative amount of edible oil flows through the oil outlet pipe 1002 below the cylinder 1003 into the semi-circular upper oil plate 1004. The semi-circular upper oil plate 1004 has multiple oil outlet holes 1005, and the edible oil will seep out from these oil outlet holes 1005 onto the surface of the semi-circular upper oil plate 1004. Since the semi-circular upper oil plate 1004 is located above the oil brushing roller 703 and is in contact with multiple bristles 704 on the oil brushing roller 703, when the oil brushing roller 703 rotates, the bristles 704 on the side not in contact with the bread will pick up the edible oil seeping out from the surface of the semi-circular upper oil plate 1004.As the bread is conveyed by conveyor belt 203 to the area below the oiling roller 703, the rotating bristles 704 evenly spread the oil they have absorbed onto the surface of the bread, thus completing the oiling process. The bristles 704, after being coated, return to the surface of the semi-circular upper oil plate 1004 under the rotation of the oiling roller 703 to pick up more oil, and then use the oiled bristles 704 to apply oil to the bread again.
