Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a noodle processing equipment, and more particularly to a starch coating equipment for fresh noodles. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of fresh noodles, a layer of starch is usually coated on the surface to prevent the noodles from sticking together during subsequent storage or steaming.

[0003] Traditional starch coating methods often involve manual powder application or fixed spraying devices, which suffer from uneven coating, significant starch waste, and high labor intensity. Especially when noodles are spread across the conveyor belt at varying widths, existing equipment struggles to dynamically adjust the powder application area based on the actual width, leading to a mismatch between the starch application range and the noodle position. This can result in insufficient coating at the edges or excessive coating on the sides, affecting coating quality and increasing raw material loss. Furthermore, continuous production requires the coating process to be synchronized with noodle conveying, but current technologies lack automated equipment capable of stable, continuous, and adjustable powder application, hindering the efficiency and automation of the fresh noodle coating process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies such as uneven coating, serious starch waste, high labor intensity, and mismatch between starch spreading range and noodle position, this utility model provides a starch coating device for fresh noodles that can flexibly adjust the spreading area according to the actual width of the noodles and achieve continuous and uniform coating.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A starch coating device for fresh noodles includes a base, a conveyor belt, a support frame, a hopper, a conveying pipe, a spreading trough, a screw conveyor, and sliding baffles. The conveyor belt is installed on the top of the base, and the support frame is connected to one side of the top of the base. The hopper is installed on the top of the support frame, and the conveying pipe is connected to the lower end of the hopper. The spreading trough is connected to the lower end of the conveying pipe. The conveying pipe is connected to both the hopper and the spreading trough. The bottom of the conveying pipe and the bottom of the spreading trough are provided with equally spaced drop holes. The screw conveyor is installed inside the conveying pipe. Sliding baffles are slidably connected to both sides of the lower end of the spreading trough. The sliding baffles are used to block the drop holes.

[0006] Preferably, the assembly also includes a bracket, a servo motor, a bidirectional lead screw, and a connecting plate. Brackets are installed on both sides of the top of the base, and a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably installed between the two brackets. A servo motor is installed on the top of one of the brackets, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the bidirectional lead screw. Connecting plates are threaded to both sides of the bidirectional lead screw, and the connecting plates are connected to the sliding baffle.

[0007] Preferably, a vibrating motor is also included, with the vibrating motor installed on the material spreading trough.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes an extension plate, with extension plates connected to both connecting plates.

[0009] Preferably, the device also includes an inclined plate and a collection tray. An inclined plate is fixed to one end of the base, and a through hole is provided on the inclined plate. A collection tray is provided below the inclined plate.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting frame is also included, through which the support frame and the conveying pipe are connected.

[0011] This invention utilizes a screw conveyor in conjunction with a conveying pipe and a spreading trough structure with discharge holes to achieve continuous and uniform starch feeding, ensuring stable coating of noodles during the conveying process. A servo motor drives a bidirectional lead screw to synchronously move a sliding baffle, allowing precise adjustment of the effective spreading area to meet the coating needs of noodles of different widths, avoiding starch waste and uneven edge coating. A vibration motor effectively prevents starch from clogging the discharge holes, ensuring smooth feeding. The extension plate design facilitates intuitive adjustment of the spreading range, improving operational convenience. The combination of an inclined plate and a collection tray recovers excess floating powder, improving starch utilization. The overall structure achieves automation, continuity, and intelligence in fresh noodle starch coating, significantly improving coating uniformity, production efficiency, and material utilization.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The above-described solution will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally those in routine experiments.

[0018] A starch coating device for fresh noodles, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the machine includes a base 1, a conveyor belt 2, a support frame 3, a hopper 4, a conveying pipe 5, a material spreading trough 6, a screw conveyor 7, and a sliding baffle 8. The conveyor belt 2 is installed on the top of the base 1. Two support frames 3 are connected to the rear side of the top of the base 1. The hopper 4 is installed between the tops of the two support frames 3. The lower end of the hopper 4 is connected to the conveying pipe 5, which is perpendicular to it. The lower end of the conveying pipe 5 is connected to the material spreading trough 6. The conveying pipe 5 communicates with the hopper 4 and the material spreading trough 6 respectively. The bottom of the conveying pipe 5 and the bottom of the material spreading trough 6 are provided with material drop holes at equal intervals. The screw conveyor 7, which is adapted to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 5, is installed inside the conveying pipe 5. The front and rear sides of the lower end of the material spreading trough 6 are slidably connected to the sliding baffle 8, which is used to block the material drop holes.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a bracket 9, a servo motor 10, a bidirectional lead screw 11, and a connecting plate 12. The bracket 9 is installed on both the front and rear sides of the top of the base 1. The bidirectional lead screw 11 is rotatably installed between the two brackets 9 through a bearing seat. The servo motor 10 is installed on the top of the front bracket 9. The output shaft of the servo motor 10 is connected to the front end of the bidirectional lead screw 11 through a coupling. The connecting plate 12 is threaded to both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 11. The connecting plate 12 is connected to the sliding baffle 8. The servo motor 10 is used to drive the bidirectional lead screw 11 to rotate so that the sliding baffles 8 on both sides can move.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a vibration motor 13, which is installed on the right side of the middle part of the material spreading trough 6.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes an extension plate 14, with the left ends of both connecting plates 12 connected to the extension plate 14, and the lower surface of the extension plate 14 in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes an inclined plate 15 and a collection tray 17. An inclined plate 15 is fixed to the right end of the base 1. The left end of the inclined plate 15 contacts the outer surface of the right end of the conveyor belt 2. A through hole 16 is provided on the inclined plate 15. A collection tray 17 is provided below the inclined plate 15. The starch on the conveyor belt 2 is scraped off by the inclined plate 15, and the scraped starch falls into the collection tray 17 through the through hole 16.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting frame 18, which connects the support frame 3 and the conveying pipe 5. The connecting frame 18 can effectively enhance the structural stability of the conveying pipe 5, prevent it from shaking or deforming during operation, ensure smooth starch conveying, and improve the reliability and coating accuracy of the equipment.

[0024] When starch coating is required on fresh noodles, the starch raw material is first added to the hopper 4, and the starch flows into the rear end of the conveyor pipe 5 connected to it. At the same time, the fresh noodles to be processed are placed at the starting position on the left end of the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is started, driving the noodles to move to the right at a uniform speed; simultaneously, the screw conveyor 7 is started, which pushes the starch in the conveyor pipe 5 forward stably by rotating. During the conveying process, the starch falls evenly into the spreading trough 6 below through the equally spaced drop holes at the bottom of the conveyor pipe 5, and is further continuously and evenly spread on the surface of the moving noodles through the corresponding drop holes at the bottom of the spreading trough 6, achieving continuous and uniform starch coating. To adapt to the coating requirements of noodles of different widths, the equipment is equipped with a sliding baffle 8, a servo motor 10, and a bidirectional lead screw 11. By starting the servo motor 10, the bidirectional lead screw 11 is driven to rotate, causing the connecting plates 12 on both sides to move synchronously in opposite directions along the bidirectional lead screw 11, thereby controlling the sliding baffle 8 connected to it to slide on both sides of the spreading trough 6. The sliding baffle 8 can selectively block part of the material discharge holes, leaving only the discharge holes in the area matching the noodle width open. This allows for precise adjustment of the material distribution area, preventing starch waste outside the noodle edges or insufficient coating on the edges. To further improve adjustment accuracy and ease of operation, the connecting plate 12 is equipped with an extension plate 14. The distance between the two extension plates 14 visually reflects the effective material distribution range, allowing operators to quickly adjust according to the actual noodle width, ensuring that starch only covers the noodle area, significantly improving coating uniformity and material utilization. To prevent starch from clogging the discharge holes due to moisture or accumulation in the conveying pipe 5 or the material distribution trough 6, a vibration motor 13 is installed on the material distribution trough 6. During operation, the vibration generated by the vibration motor 13 is transmitted to the conveying pipe 5 and the material distribution trough 6 through the connecting structure, effectively promoting smooth starch flow, improving material distribution efficiency and stability, and ensuring a continuous and reliable coating process. When the starch-coated noodles travel to the right end with the conveyor belt 2, they are discharged via the inclined plate 15. During this process, loose or excess starch falls through the through-holes 16 on the inclined plate 15 into the collection tray 17 below, achieving starch recycling and reuse, and reducing waste. Finally, the operator can conveniently remove the coated noodles at the outlet of the inclined plate 15, completing the entire automated coating process.
