Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food flavor pelletizing technology, and in particular relates to a solid food flavor production and molding device. Background Technology

[0002] Solid food flavorings are flavorings that exist in solid form and are specifically designed for food additives. They are products made by combining various food flavorings (natural or synthetic) with a specific solid carrier (or matrix) and processing them into granules through continuous extrusion and rotary pelletizing.

[0003] Currently, food flavorings have high viscoelasticity during extrusion, which causes the conductive strip material on the blade to deform along the direction of blade rotation during pelletizing. This prevents the material from being separated into pellets immediately, resulting in problems such as sticking and tailing, which greatly affects the quality of continuous pelletizing operations.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a solid food flavoring production molding apparatus. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solid food flavoring production molding device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

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

[0007] This utility model is a solid food flavoring production molding device, including an extruder and an extrusion tube at its outlet. The outlet end of the extrusion tube is fixed with a lower opening of a distribution cylinder, and the extrusion disc at one end of the extrusion tube is located inside the distribution cylinder.

[0008] A rotating shaft, coaxial with the extrusion tube, is located inside the other end of the distribution cylinder. Interlaced blades and pusher plates are rotatably mounted on the outer side of the rotating shaft near the extrusion disc. The blades are located between the extrusion disc and the pusher plates. The blades and pusher plates are evenly distributed in the same number around the circumference and rotate in opposite directions.

[0009] The pusher plate has a scraper inside, and its end face is attached to the outer surface of the blade.

[0010] Preferably, a transmission cylinder is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft for mounting the pusher plate, and a rotating slide is provided inside the transmission cylinder near the outer ring area.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the two ends of the rotating ring frame to the annular groove and the rotating slide on the side of the extrusion disc, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating ring frame is used to mount the blade, and ball bearings are rotatably mounted at both ends of the rotating ring frame through positioning grooves.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating shaft extends into the interior of the transmission cylinder with a support rod, and the support rod and the rotating ring frame are connected by a transition part and mesh with each other. The transition part is rotatably mounted on the extrusion disc.

[0014] Preferably, one side of the pusher plate is a wall panel to prevent material from sticking, and the inside of the pusher plate has an opening groove for installing a scraper.

[0015] Preferably, two positioning platforms are fixed inside the opening groove near the connection between the scraper and the inner wall of the opening groove, and an elastic pad is fixed on the inner side of one of the positioning platforms to abut against the scraper.

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

[0017] This invention combines forward-rotating blade pelletizing with reverse-rotating pusher plate to create bidirectional force on the extruded material strips. This avoids tilting and deformation, as well as tailing of the material strips, thereby improving pelletizing efficiency and uniformity.

[0018] This invention uses an elastic pad and a positioning platform to bidirectionally limit the scraper, keeping it in a predetermined position to scrape the surface of the blade. This removes the remaining material after pelleting in the first instance, preventing blockage when cutting the next strip of material, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of pelleting.

[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

[0034] 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.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "top and bottom", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner" and "around" indicate the orientation or positional relationship only for the convenience of describing this 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model is a solid food flavoring production molding device, including an extruder 11 and an extrusion tube 12 at its outlet. The outlet end of the extrusion tube 12 is fixed with a lower opening of a distribution cylinder 13, and the extrusion disc 14 at one end of the extrusion tube 12 is located inside the distribution cylinder 13.

[0037] The rotating shaft 21, coaxial with the extrusion tube 12, is located inside the other end of the distribution cylinder 13. It is driven by a rotary motor installed on the outside of the other end of the distribution cylinder 13. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably mounted with staggered blades 22 and pusher plates 23 on the outer side near the end of the extrusion disc 14. The blades 22 are attached to the surface of the extrusion disc 14 and are used to cut the material strip in real time to form solid edible flavor granules. The pusher plates 23 are located outside the blades 22. The blades 22 and pusher plates 23 are evenly distributed in the same number around the circumference and rotate in opposite directions to form a bidirectional force on the material strip to be cut at the same time, thereby ensuring that the material strip is directly cut into granules.

[0038] The pusher plate 23 is equipped with a movable scraper 233 inside, the end face of which is attached to the outer surface of the blade 22. When it rotates and intersects with the blade 22, it scrapes off the material residue on the surface of the blade 22.

[0039] Furthermore, a transmission cylinder 24 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 21, and a pusher plate 23 is circumferentially installed on the outside of the transmission cylinder 24. The interior of the transmission cylinder 24 near the outer ring area forms an annular rotating slide 241 through a raised annular structure.

[0040] Furthermore, the rotating ring frame 25 for mounting the blade 22 is located inside the transmission cylinder 24, with its two ends rotatably connected to the annular groove 141 and the rotating slide 241 on the side of the extrusion disc 14, respectively. The positioning grooves 252 at both ends of the rotating ring frame 25 are rotatably fitted with ball bearings 251, which reduce the frictional resistance between the ring frame 25 and the extrusion disc 14 and the transmission cylinder 24 during rotation, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotary pelletizing operation.

[0041] Furthermore, a support rod 211 extends from the rotating shaft 21 into the transmission cylinder 24. A transition part 26 is provided between the support rod 211 and the rotating ring frame 25. The outer side of the support rod 211, the outer side of the transition part 26, and the inner side of the rotating ring frame 25 are all provided with protruding tooth-shaped structures. The three tooth-shaped structures mesh with each other to adjust the rotation direction of the rotating ring frame 25 and its outer blade 22. The transition part 26 is rotatably installed inside the T-shaped circular groove at one end of the extrusion disc 14.

[0042] Furthermore, one side of the pusher plate 23 is a wall panel 231 with a PTFE-based composite coating to prevent material adhesion. The pusher plate 23 has an opening groove 232 inside, extending downward to a position near the lower end face, for installing the scraper 233.

[0043] Furthermore, two positioning platforms 234 are fixed inside the opening groove 232, located on both sides of the connection between the scraper 233 and the inner wall of the opening groove 232. An elastic pad 235 is fixed on the inner side of one of the positioning platforms 234 to abut against the outer side of the scraper 233, so that it is always tilted towards the blade 22. The other positioning platform 234 is used to fix the tilt angle of the scraper 233 to prevent it from intersecting and getting stuck or bumping into the blade 22.

[0044] It is understood that when the extruded edible flavor material strips are granulated, the present invention applies bidirectional force to directly cut the material strips, thereby avoiding deformation to one side and the formation of a trailing tail. At the same time, it forms a self-cleaning effect on the outer surface of the blade 22 to maintain the surface cleanliness during the granulation operation and prevent jamming that affects the granulation efficiency.

[0045] A specific application of the operation process in this embodiment is as follows: During pelletizing, the bidirectional meshing connection between the adapter 26, the support rod 211, and the rotating ring frame 25 is utilized. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 21, the rotational force is transmitted in the opposite direction to the rotating ring frame 25, thereby causing the rotating ring frame 25 to rotate and pelletize. Meanwhile, the pusher plate 23 rotates in the opposite direction to push the material to be cut. Under the simultaneous bidirectional force, the material is ensured to be directly cut to form pellets. At the same time, the elastic pad 235 is used to squeeze the scraper 233 to make it tilt, and the tilt angle is fixed under the fixation of the positioning table 234, so that the scraper 233 always maintains a fixed tilt angle. Thus, the pusher plate 23 and the blade 22 scrape the surface of the blade 22 alternately to remove the residual material, ensuring that the blade 22 maintains a stable cutting effect when cutting the next material strip.
