Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bread production technology, and in particular to a bread filling device. Background Technology

[0002] Bread is a popular traditional food, but as consumers demand more diverse food options, traditional bread has become less flavorful. Filling bread with fillings has become an important way to improve its flavor. Fillings can not only give bread a variety of flavors such as chocolate, cream, and fruit, but also optimize the texture by adding nuts and cream. At the same time, fillings rich in nutrients, such as red bean paste, can be used to adjust the nutritional structure of bread and meet the diverse needs of consumers.

[0003] In related technologies, filling is typically done from the top or side of the bread. This involves inserting a filling tube into the bread from the top or side, and then filling the bread with the filling from the container through the tube. This often results in holes left on the top or side of the bread from the insertion of the filling tube, affecting the product's appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a bread filling device to help improve product quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A bread filling device includes a substrate with a through hole along a first direction, a limiting member located above the substrate that can approach the bread and make the bread abut against the substrate, a filling nozzle assembly located below the substrate that can pass through the through hole to fill the bread, and a driving member connecting the limiting member and the filling nozzle assembly; the driving member can make the limiting member and the filling nozzle assembly move towards or away from the substrate synchronously.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving member along the first direction is located on one side of the substrate; both sides of the substrate are provided with conveying members that convey bread along the second direction, and the bread can be conveyed between the conveying members and the substrate; a stopping member is provided on one side of the substrate along the second direction; driving the stopping member closer to the substrate can stop the bread on the substrate.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving component includes: a guide post perpendicular to the substrate, a base fixed to the guide post, and sliding seats located on both sides of the base and capable of sliding along the axial direction of the guide post; the base is rotatably connected to a driving rod via a pivot, both ends of the driving rod are hinged to connecting rods, the remaining first end of the connecting rod is hinged to the sliding seat, and a power component for driving the driving rod to rotate is connected to the base; the power component drives the driving rod to rotate, enabling the sliding seat to move closer to or away from the base; the limiting member and the filling nozzle assembly are respectively connected to the two sliding seats; and / or, the pivot is located at the center of the driving rod in the length direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the power component includes a cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixedly connected to the base, and the piston rod of which is fixedly connected to any of the sliding seats.

[0010] Furthermore, the power component includes a reversible motor, the body of which is fixedly connected to the base, and the output shaft of which is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting member includes: a limiting plate parallel to the substrate and a first connecting portion capable of connecting the limiting plate and the driving member.

[0012] Furthermore, the filling nozzle assembly includes multiple filling tubes evenly spaced along the first direction, and a second connecting portion is fixedly connected to the multiple filling tubes; the second connecting portion is connected to the driving component.

[0013] Furthermore, the stopping member includes a stopping plate extending along the first direction and a telescopic member that drives the stopping plate to move closer to or away from the substrate in a direction perpendicular to the substrate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] (1) The bread filling device of this utility model, when filling bread, arranges the bread along a first direction on a substrate, with the bottom of the bread corresponding to the through hole, preferably, the center of the bottom of the bread directly corresponding to the through hole. At this time, the driving member is driven, which causes the limiting member and the filling nozzle assembly to move simultaneously towards the side closer to the bread, until the limiting member abuts against the bread, causing the bread to abut against the substrate, and the top of the filling nozzle assembly passes through the through hole and is inserted into the bread from the bottom to fill the bread. This effectively avoids damage to the bread's integrity caused by filling the side or top of the bread, improves the bread's appearance integrity, and helps improve product quality.

[0016] (2) The baked bread is conveyed to the substrate by the conveyor. Under the action of the stopper, the bread stays on the substrate. After the filling nozzles fill the bread, the stopper stops blocking the bread. As the bread is continuously conveyed, the bread that has been filled is pushed to another conveyor by the next batch of bread. This realizes the continuous filling of bread, which helps to realize continuous production and improve production efficiency.

[0017] (3) The overdrive component can simultaneously move the limiting component and the filling nozzle assembly closer to or further away from the bread, thereby achieving the synchronous operation of limiting and filling the bread, effectively improving the coordination between limiting and filling the bread.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0031] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a bread filling device, which, through structural design, enables filling at the bottom of the bread to avoid damage to the bread's integrity caused by filling at the side or top, thus helping to improve product quality.

[0032] In existing technology, filling is generally done from the top or side of the bread. That is, the filling tube is inserted into the bread from the top or side, and then the filling from the container is filled into the bread through the filling tube. This can easily leave holes on the top or side of the bread where the filling tube was inserted, affecting the integrity of the product's appearance.

[0033] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the bread filling device of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 3 In terms of overall design, the bread filling device includes a base plate 1 with a through hole 101 along the first direction x, a limiting member 2 located above the base plate 1 that can approach the bread and make the bread abut against the base plate 1, a filling nozzle assembly 3 located below the base plate 1 that can pass through the through hole 101 to fill the bread, and a driving member 4 connecting the limiting member 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3; driving the driving member 4 can make the limiting member 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 move closer to or further away from the base plate 1 synchronously.

[0034] With the above configuration, when filling the bread, the bread pieces are arranged on the substrate 1 along the first direction x, with the bottom of the bread corresponding to the through hole 101. Preferably, the center of the bottom of the bread corresponds exactly to the through hole 101. At this time, the driving member 4 is activated, causing the limiting member 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 to move simultaneously towards the side closer to the bread until the limiting member 2 abuts against the bread, making the bread abut against the substrate 1. The top of the filling nozzle assembly 3 then passes through the through hole 101 and is inserted into the bread from the bottom to fill it with filling. This effectively avoids damage to the bread's integrity caused by filling the side or top of the bread, improving the bread's appearance integrity and contributing to higher product quality.

[0035] In order to continuously fill the bread, the drive member 4 along the first direction x is located on one side of the substrate 1; both sides of the substrate 1 are provided with conveyors 5 that convey bread along the second direction y, and the bread can be conveyed between the conveyors 5 and the substrate 1; a stop member 6 is provided on one side of the substrate 1 along the second direction y; by driving the stop member 6 close to the substrate 1, the bread can be stopped on the substrate 1.

[0036] With the above setup, the baked bread is conveyed to the substrate 1 via the conveyor 5. Under the action of the stopper 6, the bread is kept on the substrate 1. After the filling nozzle assembly 3 fills the bread, the stopper 6 stops blocking the bread. As the bread is continuously conveyed, the filled bread is pushed to another conveyor 5 by the next batch of bread. This achieves uninterrupted filling of the bread, which helps to realize continuous production and improve production efficiency.

[0037] It can be understood that the bread is conveyed along the second direction y by the conveyor 5 to the substrate 1, and then from the substrate 1 to another conveyor 5. Preferably, the stop member 6 along the second direction y is disposed on one side of the end of the conveying process on the substrate 1. The conveyor 5 can be a commercially available conveyor belt used for conveying bread. The specific form of the conveyor belt is not limited, as long as it can realize the conveying of bread along the second direction y.

[0038] Thus, with the above configuration, when the bread is conveyed onto the substrate 1, the blocking action of the stopper 6 helps to neatly arrange the bread on the substrate 1.

[0039] Based on the above overview, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving component 4 includes a guide post 401 perpendicular to the substrate 1, a base 402 fixedly connected to the guide post 401, and sliding seats 403 that can slide along the axial direction of the guide post 401 and are located on both sides of the base 402; the base 402 is rotatably connected to a driving rod 405 via a rotating shaft 404, and both ends of the driving rod 405 are hinged to connecting rods 406, the remaining first end of the connecting rod 406 is hinged to the sliding seat 403, and a power component 407 that drives the driving rod 405 to rotate is connected to the base 402; the power component 407 drives the driving rod 405 to rotate, which can make the sliding seat 403 approach or move away from the base 402; the limiting component 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 are respectively connected to the two sliding seats 403.

[0040] With the above configuration, when the driving component 4 drives the limiting component 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 to move closer or further apart, under the action of the power component 407, the driving rod 405 rotates relative to the base 402 about the center line of the rotating shaft 404. Under the combined action of the connecting rod 406 and the guide post 401, the sliding seat 403 is driven to slide along the axial direction of the guide post 401. Depending on the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 404, the limiting component 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 move closer or further apart. This configuration allows the driving component 4 to simultaneously move the limiting component 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 closer or further away from the bread, achieving synchronous limiting and filling of the bread, effectively improving the coordination of bread limiting and filling.

[0041] It is understood that the rotating shaft 404 can be connected to multiple positions along the length of the drive rod 405, so as to allow the limiting member 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 to move closer to or further away from the substrate 1. Preferably, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 404 is located at the center of the length of the drive rod 405. With the above arrangement, as the rotating shaft 404 rotates, the combined action of the drive rod 405, the connecting rod 406, and the guide post 401 helps to make the sliding stroke of the sliding seats 403 on both sides of the base 402 the same.

[0042] Continue to combine Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the power component 407 includes a cylinder 407a, the cylinder body of which is fixedly connected to the base 402, and the piston rod of the cylinder 407a is fixedly connected to any sliding seat 403. With this configuration, the distance between the sliding seat 403 connected to the cylinder 407a and the base 402 can be actively adjusted by the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder 407a. Under the transmission action of the connecting rod 406 and the drive rod 405, the other sliding seat 403 can be synchronously driven to slide axially along the guide post 401, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting member 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 respectively connected to the two sliding seats 403.

[0043] As an optional configuration of the limiting member 2, in this embodiment, in detail, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 2 includes a limiting plate 201 parallel to the substrate 1 and a first connecting portion 202 that connects the limiting plate 201 to the driving member 4. With this configuration, when the limiting member 2 approaches the substrate 1, the limiting plate 201 abuts against the bread. When the filling nozzle assembly 3 is inserted into the bread from the bottom, the limiting plate 201 prevents the bread from detaching from the substrate 1, allowing the top of the filling nozzle assembly 3 to be smoothly inserted into the bread. The main function of the first connecting portion 202 is to connect the limiting plate 201 and the sliding seat 403, enabling the limiting plate 201 to move synchronously with the sliding seat 403 or remain static. Therefore, the form of the first connecting portion 202 is not limited. As an optional approach, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 202 is a plate-like structure, and the first connecting portion 202 and the limiting plate 201 are integrally formed. By fixing the first connecting portion 202 to the sliding seat 403, the limiting plate 201 and the sliding seat 403 are fixed.

[0044] Similarly, as an optional configuration of the filling nozzle assembly 3, in this embodiment, the filling nozzle assembly 3 includes multiple filling tubes 301 arranged at equal intervals along the first direction x, and a second connecting part 302 fixedly connected to the multiple filling tubes 301; the second connecting part 302 is connected to the driving member 4.

[0045] The second connecting part 302 enables multiple filling tubes 301 to be arranged along the first direction x and connected to the sliding seat 403. Therefore, the specific form of the second connecting part 302 is not limited. In detail, in this embodiment, the second connecting part 302 is a plate-shaped structure. The filling tubes 301 pass through the second connecting part 302 and are fixedly connected to the second connecting part 302. The filling tubes 301 and the sliding seat 403 are fixedly connected through the second connecting part 302.

[0046] It is understood that in this embodiment, all the multiple filling tubes 301 are connected to the filling supply component, meaning that the filling supply component can pass filling material into the filling tubes 301 for use in the bread. The main function of the filling tubes 301 is to be inserted into the bread and to pass the filling material from the filling supply component into the bread. The filling supply component is prior art well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] As an optional implementation of the stopper 6, in this embodiment, specifically, the stopper 6 includes a stopper plate 601 extending along the first direction x and a telescopic member 602 that drives the stopper plate 601 to move closer to or away from the substrate 1 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1.

[0048] The stop plate 601 is positioned perpendicular to the substrate 1 to block the bread. The telescopic member 602 is used to move the stop plate 601 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. The telescopic member 602 can be configured in various ways. In this embodiment, a hydraulic cylinder is preferred as the telescopic member 602. In this way, by controlling the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, the gap between the stop plate 601 and the substrate 1 can be adjusted in a timely manner to determine whether the bread can be transferred from the substrate 1 to the conveyor 5.

[0049] It is worth noting that, regarding this embodiment, based on the above exemplary implementations, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, guide posts 401, bases 402, sliding seats 403, rotating shafts 404, driving rods 405 and connecting rods 406 are provided on both sides of the substrate 1 along the first direction x. However, a power member 407 is provided only on one side of the substrate 1 along the first direction x.

[0050] The bread filling device of this embodiment adopts the above design. When filling the bread, the bread is arranged on the substrate 1 along the first direction x, with the bottom of the bread corresponding to the through hole 101. Preferably, the center of the bottom of the bread corresponds exactly to the through hole 101. At this time, the driving member 4 is driven, which moves the limiting member 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 simultaneously towards the side closer to the bread until the limiting member 2 abuts against the bread, causing the bread to abut against the substrate 1. The top of the filling nozzle assembly 3 passes through the through hole 101 and is inserted into the bread from the bottom to fill it. This effectively avoids damage to the bread's integrity caused by filling the side or top of the bread, improves the bread's appearance integrity, and helps improve product quality.

[0051] A second aspect of this utility model provides a bread filling device, which differs from the first aspect in that, Figure 4As shown, the power component 407 includes a reversible motor 407b, the body of which is fixedly connected to the base 402, and the output shaft of the reversible motor 407b is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 404. Thus, by controlling the reversible motor 407b, the output shaft of the reversible motor 407b drives the rotating shaft 404 to rotate, thereby synchronously driving the two sliding seats 403 to slide along the axial direction of the guide post 401. Furthermore, by controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the output shaft of the reversible motor 407b, the two sliding seats 403 can be adjusted to move closer or further apart; that is, by controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the output shaft of the reversible motor 407b, the limiting member 2 and the filling nozzle assembly 3 can be adjusted to move closer or further apart.

[0052] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. The technical features or structures in the foregoing different embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other specific technical solutions as needed. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and variations.
