[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0026] like Figures 1-6The diagram shows the equipment structure and components of a long spicy strip winding machine, which mainly consists of a table 1, winding shaft 9, telescopic device 11, motor 10, spline sleeve 14, guide wheel 4, cover plate 3, pressure plate 6, mounting rod 5, foot pedal 13, and other components.

[0027] The platform 1 serves as the basic support platform for the entire device. It has precisely drilled holes that match the winding shaft 9, ensuring that the winding shaft 9 can smoothly move up and down within the holes and rotate stably. The winding shaft 9 is installed in the holes of the platform 1 and has the functions of rotation and vertical movement. Its lower end is connected to the telescopic device 11, which drives the vertical movement. A slot is formed at the upper end of the winding shaft 9 for inserting the end of the spicy strip. The telescopic device 11 can be a common driving component such as an electric push rod or a cylinder, and is installed at the bottom of the platform 1 and firmly fixed with bolts or other fasteners to ensure stability and reliability during operation.

[0028] The motor 10 is also mounted on the bottom of the table 1 and is connected to the winding shaft 9 through a transmission component to provide power for the rotation of the winding shaft 9. The selection of the motor 10 is determined according to the required speed and torque of the winding shaft 9 to ensure that it can stably drive the winding shaft 9 to rotate.

[0029] The spline sleeve 14 is fitted onto the winding shaft 9, and the two are connected by a spline, ensuring coaxiality and transmission accuracy during relative movement. A drive wheel is coaxially mounted on the spline sleeve 14, and the drive wheel is connected to the output shaft of the motor 10 via a belt or chain, forming a complete power transmission system. This allows the power of the motor 10 to be efficiently transmitted to the winding shaft 9, driving it to rotate, while not affecting the up-and-down movement of the winding shaft via the telescopic device.

[0030] At least one pair of guide wheels 4 are provided and installed on the tabletop 1. The specific position is determined according to the conveying path and winding requirements of the spicy strips. The surface of the guide wheels 4 is smooth and burr-free to reduce the friction between the spicy strips and the guide wheels 4 during movement and avoid damage to the surface of the spicy strips. The guide wheels 4 are installed on the tabletop 1 via axles, and the axles are supported by bearings at both ends to ensure that the guide wheels 4 can rotate flexibly to adapt to the conveying requirements of the spicy strips.

[0031] The cover plate 3 is located above the guide wheel 4 and adopts a flip-open structure design. One side is connected to the table surface 1 by a hinge. The installation position and rotation flexibility of the hinge have been precisely adjusted so that the cover plate 3 can be easily opened and closed.

[0032] The size and shape of the cover plate 3 match the layout of the guide wheels 4. When the cover plate 3 is closed, it can fit on top of the guide wheels 4, effectively preventing the spicy strips from detaching upwards between the guide wheels 4, and ensuring that the spicy strips maintain a stable position and posture during the conveying process.

[0033] The pressure plate 6 is positioned above the winding shaft 9, with its center coaxial with the winding shaft 9, ensuring that the spicy strips are subjected to uniform force during the winding process and that the winding effect is good.

[0034] The edge of the pressing plate 6 is provided with an annular edge 61. The height and width of the annular edge 61 are designed according to the diameter and thickness requirements of the spicy strips. By changing the height of the annular edge 61, the winding requirements of spicy strips of different specifications can be adapted.

[0035] An opening on one side of the annular edge 61 forms a feeding port 62. The size and shape of the feeding port 62 facilitate the smooth entry of the spicy strip into the pressure plate 6, and at the same time, it plays a good guiding role for the spicy strip during the winding process.

[0036] One end of the mounting rod 5 is firmly connected to the pressure plate 6, and the other end is mounted on the table 1 by a hinge. The hinge part uses precision bearings and high-strength bolts to ensure that the mounting rod 5 can stably support the pressure plate 6 and can be easily flipped when the pressure plate 6 needs to be opened.

[0037] The foot pedal 13 is located below the table 1 and is connected to the motor 10 and the telescopic device 11 via control lines. The foot pedal 13 is ergonomically designed, comfortable to operate, and responsive. Operators can easily control the rotation and up-and-down movement of the winding shaft 9 through the foot pedal 13, allowing them to control the equipment without taking their hands off the operating area, thus improving the safety and convenience of operation.

[0038] Working principle and operating steps:

[0039] In the long spicy strip winding machine, the winding shaft 9 is the core component. Driven by the motor 10, it can rotate stably and move up and down with the help of the telescopic device 11. When the spicy strip is conveyed from between the guide wheels 4 to the winding shaft 9, the end of the spicy strip is inserted into the groove at the lower end of the winding shaft 9. Then, the motor 10 is started, and the motor 10 drives the drive wheel to rotate through the belt or chain, thereby driving the winding shaft 9 to rotate, so that the spicy strip is spirally wound around the winding shaft 9. During the winding process, the pressure plate 6 covers the winding shaft 9, and its annular edge 61 restricts the winding diameter of the spicy strip, ensuring that the wound spicy strip is a tight and uniform spiral, while preventing the spicy strip from loosening or swaying during the winding process, thus ensuring the appearance quality and dimensional consistency of the product.

[0040] The foot pedal 13 serves as a control device. By stepping on the foot pedal 13 at different positions or with different forces, the operator can control the speed of the motor 10 and the extension and retraction of the telescopic device 11, thereby precisely adjusting the rotation speed and lifting height of the winding shaft 9 to meet the winding requirements of spicy strips of different lengths and specifications.

[0041] Operating steps:

[0042] 1. First, place the long spicy strip winding machine on a flat and stable workbench or ground to ensure that the equipment will not shift or vibrate due to uneven ground or shaking during operation, which would affect the winding quality.

[0043] 2. Connect the power supply to the equipment and check whether the electrical components such as motor 10, expansion joint 11, and control box 12 are powered on normally, and whether all connecting lines are secure and free from short circuits, looseness, or other abnormalities, to ensure that the equipment can operate normally.

[0044] 3. Pass one end of the spicy strip to be wound through the guide rollers 4, ensuring that the spicy strip can move smoothly between the guide rollers 4 without jamming or twisting. Then align the end of the spicy strip with the groove at the lower end of the winding shaft 9, gently insert it and ensure that it is firmly locked in place, preparing for the subsequent winding operation.

[0045] 4. Flip the cover plate 3 over and place it tightly against the guide wheel 4 to prevent the spicy strip from detaching upwards between the guide wheels 4, ensuring the stability of the spicy strip during conveying and winding. At the same time, flip the pressure plate 6 over and place it over the winding shaft 9, so that the winding shaft 9 is located in the center of the pressure plate 6, ensuring that the spicy strip is subjected to uniform force during winding and that the winding effect is good.

[0046] 5. The operator presses the foot pedal 13 and controls the rotation speed and up / down movement of the winding shaft 9 as needed by using different foot pedals. At the beginning of winding, the force of the foot pedal 13 is adjusted appropriately to make the winding shaft 9 rotate slowly and rise to a suitable height. As winding proceeds, the rotation speed is gradually increased to ensure that the spicy strips are tightly and evenly wound on the winding shaft 9.

[0047] 6. During the winding process, closely observe the winding of the spicy strips and the operating status of the equipment to ensure that the spicy strips are wound evenly without loosening or swaying, and that all parts of the equipment operate smoothly without abnormal noise or vibration. If any abnormality is found, immediately release foot pedal 13, stop the equipment, check and troubleshoot the problem before continuing operation.

[0048] 7. Once the spicy strip is wound to the desired length and diameter, release the foot pedal 13 to stop the winding shaft 9 from rotating and allow it to descend. Then flip over and open the pressure plate 6. Use scissors or other cutting tools to cut off any excess spicy strip, ensuring the cut is clean and free of burrs.

[0049] 8. Place the packaging box or other packaging material onto the spiral-wound spicy strip to complete the packaging operation. Then remove the finished spicy strip from the winding shaft 9 and place it in the designated location, ready for subsequent processing or packaging procedures.

[0050] 9. Clean and maintain the equipment, removing spicy snack residue and grease from the surfaces of components such as table 1, guide wheels 4, and winding shaft 9. Check the wear of each component and replace or repair it in a timely manner if necessary to ensure that the equipment can maintain good operating condition and be ready for the next winding operation.

[0051] Through the above operating steps, the long spicy strip winding machine can efficiently and stably complete the winding of long spicy strips 2, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality, reducing labor costs and labor intensity, and meeting the needs of the spicy strip food industry for the production of long spicy strips 2.
