Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a food forming and scraping mechanism and forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] Forming rollers for shaping food products are known in the art. They are mainly used for shaping meat chunks, fried meat patties, and three-dimensional products such as tenderloin, steak, meatballs, and meat slices. The forming roller is equipped with a corresponding mold. During food shaping, the material enters the hopper and is conveyed to the forming chamber by the auger blades. The forming chamber is equipped with a pressure mechanism and a forming roller. The pressure mechanism presses the material into the mold of the forming roller. As the forming roller rotates to the lowest position, the mold extrudes the shaped material onto the roller surface under the action of gravity. A steel wire is provided at the lowest point of the forming roller. The extruded material is divided by the steel wire and falls onto the conveyor belt to be sent to the next process.

[0003] The system includes a scraper plate structure on the steel wire. One end of the scraper plate is fixed to the lateral movement mechanism and moves laterally via a cylinder. The other end has a hook that hooks onto the steel wire. The lateral movement mechanism drives the scraper plate to slide along the steel wire, scraping off the residue and ensuring the quality of the food product. However, in practical applications, it has been found that uneven contact between the hook part of the scraper plate and the steel wire can easily lead to unstable stress on the hook part. The scraper plate with the hook is prone to breakage at the hook, resulting in long procurement cycles for spare parts and affecting production progress. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a food forming scraping mechanism and forming machine. The improved scraping plate adopts the method of overlapping with steel wire, eliminating the hook structure. This method of cooperation makes the scraping plate less prone to damage and breakage, greatly increasing the service life of the scraping plate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, a food forming scraping mechanism includes a steel wire, a scraping plate, and a forming roller. The steel wire is located at the lower end of the forming roller. One end of the scraping plate is connected to a transverse movement mechanism, and the other end is a plate-like structure that overlaps the steel wire on the lower surface. The steel wire is located between the two ends of the scraping plate and close to the end of the scraping plate away from the transverse movement mechanism. The scraping plate is located between the steel wire and the forming roller.

[0007] As a further implementation, the two ends of the forming roller are mounted on the mounting plates on both sides of the worktable via rotating shafts, and a limit block is provided on the rotating shaft at one end of the forming roller.

[0008] As a further implementation, a mechanical directional valve is provided on the inner side of the mounting plate. The mechanical directional valve is connected to the transverse movement mechanism. The limit block collides with the mechanical directional valve and changes the movement of the transverse movement mechanism through the mechanical directional valve.

[0009] As a further implementation, the transverse mechanism includes a crossbar between two mounting plates, a slider on the crossbar, and a cylinder on the mounting plate. The output end of the cylinder is connected to the slider to drive the slider to slide along the crossbar.

[0010] As a further implementation, the slider has a mounting hole at its front end, and the scraper plate is fixed by a fastener.

[0011] As a further implementation, the front end of the scraper is used to overlap the steel wire, and the rear end is provided with a through hole for cooperating with the fixing component.

[0012] As a further implementation, the slag scraper includes an integral slag scraping part and a fixing part, the through hole is provided in the fixing part, and the width of the fixing part is greater than the width of the slag scraping part.

[0013] As a further implementation, a continuous reinforcing section is provided between the fixing section and the scraping section.

[0014] As a further implementation, the scraper section is a rectangular plate structure or an arc-shaped plate structure, and the scraper section is attached to the steel wire by its bottom surface.

[0015] Secondly, a food forming machine includes a scraping mechanism as described above, and a worktable. Forming rollers are mounted on both sides of the worktable via mounting plates. A forming chamber is provided above the forming rollers. A spiral conveyor and a hopper are connected in sequence to the rear end of the forming chamber. A pressure mechanism is provided on the forming chamber. A transverse movement mechanism is provided on the mounting plate. A conveyor belt is also provided on the worktable.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model features a scraper blade with a plate-like front end, which overlaps with a steel wire on its lower surface. The steel wire is positioned between the two ends of the scraper blade, closer to the end away from the lateral movement mechanism. The scraper blade is positioned between the steel wire and the forming roller. The improved scraper blade uses an overlapping connection with the steel wire, eliminating the hook structure. This connection method makes the scraper blade less prone to damage and breakage, significantly increasing its service life. Furthermore, after prolonged use, a shallow groove will be worn into the bottom surface of the scraper blade. The scraper blade engages with the steel wire through this groove, ensuring a more stable fit between the scraper blade and the steel wire. Attached Figure Description

[0026] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0027] Existing technologies such as Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the existing scraper plate 80 is hooked onto the steel wire 7 by a hook. When the lateral movement mechanism moves the existing scraper plate 80 laterally, the hook part of the existing scraper plate 80 is not in uniform contact with the steel wire, which easily leads to unstable force on the hook part. The scraper plate with the hook is easy to break at the hook, resulting in a long procurement cycle for spare parts and affecting the production progress.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] In a typical embodiment of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-4As shown, a food forming scraping mechanism includes a steel wire 7, a scraping plate 8, and a forming roller 32. The steel wire 7 is located at the lower end of the forming roller 32. One end of the scraping plate 8 is connected to a transverse movement mechanism, and the other end is a plate-like structure that overlaps the steel wire 7 through its lower surface. The steel wire is located between the two ends of the scraping plate 8 and is close to the end of the scraping plate 8 away from the transverse movement mechanism. The scraping plate 8 is located between the steel wire 7 and the forming roller 32.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, mounting plates 2 are provided on both sides of the worktable 1 of the forming machine. A forming chamber 3 and a forming roller 32 are provided between the mounting plates 2. The two ends of the forming roller 32 are mounted on the mounting plates 2 on both sides of the worktable 1 via rotating shafts 33. A steel wire 7 is also installed on the worktable. The steel wire 7 is arranged along the length of the worktable and is located at the bottom of the forming roller 32. The steel wire 7 is used to cut the food when the forming roller 32 is rotated to the bottom position and drop it onto the conveyor belt 6.

[0031] The transverse movement mechanism includes a crossbar 9 positioned between two mounting plates 2 on both sides. A slider 10 is fitted onto the crossbar 9 and can slide on the crossbar. Both ends of the crossbar 9 are fixedly connected to the mounting plates 2. The mounting plates 2 are arranged along the length of the worktable.

[0032] The mounting plate is also equipped with a cylinder 11. The output end of the cylinder 11 passes through the mounting plate 2 and connects to the slider 10 to drive the slider 10 to slide along the crossbar. Figure 3 As shown. The front end of the slider has a mounting hole, specifically a threaded hole, for fixing the scraper plate using a fastener.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front end of the scraper plate 8 is used to overlap the steel wire 7, and the rear end is provided with a through hole for cooperating with the fixing component.

[0034] The slag scraper includes an integral slag scraping part 81 and a fixing part 82. The slag scraping part 81 is located at the front end, and the fixing part 82 is located at the rear end. The through hole is provided on the fixing part 82, and two through holes 84 are provided. The width of the fixing part 82 is greater than the width of the slag scraping part, which enhances the connection strength between the fixing part 82 and the slider.

[0035] Specifically, the fastener uses bolts, which pass through the through hole 84 on the fixing part 82 and engage with the threaded hole on the slider to fix the rear end of the scraper plate 8 to the slider 10. The length of the scraper plate 8 is greater than the distance from the crossbar 9 to the steel wire 7, so that the scraping part 81 at the front end of the scraper plate 8 can overlap the steel wire 7.

[0036] A continuous reinforcing part 83 is provided between the fixing part 82 and the scraping part 81, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the strength of the scraper blade is increased.

[0037] like Figures 1-3As shown, after the scraper plate 8 overlaps the steel wire 7, the front end of the scraper plate 8 is located below the forming roller and between the steel wire 7 and the forming roller 32. When the cylinder drives the slider to slide along the crossbar 9, the front end of the scraper section 81 of the scraper plate 8 can slide along the length of the steel wire 7 to scrape off the residue on the steel wire 7, ensuring the forming quality of the food.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the end of the forming roller 32 is rotatably engaged with the mounting plate via a rotating shaft 33, which can drive the forming roller 32 to rotate. A limiting block 34 is provided on the rotating shaft inside the mounting plate 2. There are two limiting blocks 34, which are evenly distributed on the rotating shaft 33 and spaced 180° apart.

[0039] A mechanical directional valve 21 is installed on the inner side of the mounting plate at the position corresponding to the limit block. The mechanical directional valve 21 is connected to the cylinder of the transverse mechanism. The limit block collides with the mechanical directional valve 21, and the mechanical directional valve 21 changes the action of the transverse mechanism. Thus, for every revolution of the forming drum, each of the two limit blocks collides with the mechanical directional valve 21 once. The cylinder reciprocates once, ultimately achieving the purpose of scraping slag once for every revolution of the forming drum.

[0040] It is understandable that the connection between the mechanical directional valve 21, the limit block, and the cylinder is existing technology. As long as the limit block collides with the mechanical directional valve 21, the cylinder can be controlled to move. Correspondingly, an air supply mechanism is also required, which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] It is understandable that the forming roller needs to rotate under the action of a drive mechanism, which is existing technology. The forming roller also contains a mold and other structures, which is also existing technology in the market. In this embodiment, the forming roller is equipped with a mold structure. When the mold rotates to the top position, the material in the forming chamber is pressed against the mold by the pressure mechanism, causing the mold to become concave. When the forming roller rotates the mold to the bottom, the mold extrudes the food under gravity, and the food is separated by the steel wire. As the forming roller continues to rotate, the scraper repeatedly scrapes away the residue adhering to the steel wire, ensuring the forming quality.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the scraper section in this embodiment has a rectangular plate structure, and the scraper section overlaps the steel wire with its bottom surface. This embodiment eliminates the hook structure in the scraper plate, achieving a connection between the scraper plate and the steel wire through the overlap. This connection method makes the scraper plate less prone to damage and breakage, greatly increasing its service life. Furthermore, after prolonged use, a shallow groove will be worn into the bottom surface of the scraper plate, allowing for a more stable connection between the scraper plate and the steel wire.

[0043] In other examples, the slag scraping section is an arc-shaped plate structure, and the height of the slag scraping section below the bottom of the forming roller is the highest part of the entire slag scraping section, ensuring that the slag scraping plate can scrape slag smoothly and that other parts of the slag scraping section will not be interfered with by the forming roller.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] In a typical embodiment of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, a food forming machine includes a scraping mechanism as described in Embodiment 1, and a worktable 1. Forming rollers are mounted on both sides of the worktable 1 via mounting plates. A forming chamber is located above the forming rollers. A screw conveyor 4 and a hopper 5 are sequentially connected to the rear end of the forming chamber. A pressure mechanism 31 is provided on the forming chamber, and a lateral movement mechanism is mounted on the mounting plate. A conveyor belt 6 is also provided on the worktable. Material is fed into the hopper 5 and, under the action of the screw conveyor 4, is conveyed into the forming chamber. A forming roller 32 is located below the forming chamber. Under the action of the pressure device, the material in the forming chamber is pressed against the mold on the forming roller. When the forming roller rotates to the wire position, the mold pushes the material out, and the wire scrapes the formed food onto the conveyor belt.

[0046] The inclusion of limit blocks and a mechanical directional valve allows the lateral movement mechanism to repeatedly scrape the residue on the steel wire with a scraper blade. The scraper blade's front end overlaps with the steel wire, resulting in a longer service life and reduced breakage compared to existing scraper blades that use hooks.

[0047] It should be noted that the mechanical reversing valve, limit block, transverse movement mechanism, forming chamber 3, forming roller, and screw conveyor auger in this embodiment are all existing technologies.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
