Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rice noodle production equipment, specifically to an automatic optimized packaging system for the back end of a small rice noodle machine. Background Technology

[0002] Rice noodles are a traditional staple food in my country. The processing of rice noodles involves soaking, grinding, steaming, and extruding rice into strips. To improve texture, ensure quality, and facilitate transportation, rice noodles undergo further processing after extrusion, including cutting, secondary cooking, washing, dough forming, and packaging. However, current small-scale rice noodle machines rely heavily on manual labor for these post-extrusion processes, lacking supporting equipment, which hinders production efficiency. Furthermore, manual operation is overly dependent on operator experience, leading to significant randomness and instability, and making it difficult to guarantee consistent product quality.

[0003] Based on the above shortcomings, this application proposes an automatic optimization and packaging system for the back end of a small rice noodle machine, which optimizes and packages the rice noodles extruded by the small rice noodle machine to improve the efficiency of automated rice noodle production and ensure product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic optimization and packaging system for the back end of a small rice noodle machine. It can automatically optimize the rice noodles after they are extruded and automatically package the optimized rice noodles into boxes, which helps to improve the production efficiency of rice noodles and ensure product quality.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model solves the above-mentioned problems through the following technical solution:

[0006] The automatic optimization and packaging system at the back end of the small rice noodle machine includes a quantitative cutting mechanism, a rice noodle conveying mechanism, a rice noodle cooking and feeding mechanism, a rice noodle cooking mechanism, a rinsing mechanism, and a tray-loading and packaging mechanism arranged in sequence. The quantitative cutting mechanism is installed below the extrusion port of the rice noodle machine to cut the extruded rice noodles. The rice noodle conveying mechanism receives the falling rice noodles below the quantitative cutting mechanism and transports them to the rice noodle cooking and feeding mechanism, which feeds the rice noodle cooking mechanism.

[0007] The powder feeding mechanism, powder cooking mechanism, and rinsing mechanism are installed on the washing machine box. The powder cooking mechanism includes a powder cooking tank and powder cooking units located on the top of the washing machine box. The powder cooking tank is an elongated tank perpendicular to the material transport direction. The powder cooking units are multiple units arranged in an array along the length of the powder cooking tank on the discharge side of the powder cooking tank. The powder cooking unit includes a powder cooking frame flipping device fixed to the top of the washing machine box. The powder cooking frame flips from the powder cooking tank toward the rinsing mechanism under the drive of the powder cooking frame flipping device.

[0008] The rinsing mechanism is installed on the discharge side of the powder cooking mechanism, including a long rinsing tank arranged parallel to the powder cooking tank and a rinsing unit located on the discharge side of the rinsing tank. The rinsing tank is divided into multiple rinsing compartments along its length, and the positions and number of the rinsing compartments and rinsing units correspond to the powder cooking unit. The rinsing unit includes a rinsing frame flipping device fixed to the top of the washing machine box. The rinsing frame flips from the rinsing tank to the tray dispensing mechanism under the drive of the rinsing frame flipping device.

[0009] The powder cooking feeding mechanism is installed on the feeding side of the powder cooking mechanism, including a feeding linear module arranged parallel to the powder cooking tank, and a feeding unit that moves with the module slide; the feeding unit includes a feeding disc flipping device fixed to the module slider, and the feeding disc flips to feed the powder cooking frame under the drive of the feeding disc flipping device.

[0010] The tray-loading and dispensing mechanism includes a powder-filling tank, a dispensing frame, and a tray-loading module. The lower part of the dispensing frame is placed inside the powder-filling tank, and the tray-loading module is erected above the powder-filling tank to feed the dispensing frame into compartments. The tray-loading module adopts a gantry structure, including a gantry truss with X and Y direction displacement, and a dispensing hopper installed at the working end of the gantry truss. The receiving position of the dispensing hopper matches the flipping discharge position of the rinsing frame, and the discharge port of the dispensing hopper is equipped with a hopper gate assembly to control its opening and closing.

[0011] In this solution, the rice noodles extruded from the rice noodle machine are cut into strips by a quantitative cutting mechanism and fall into a rice noodle conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism then sequentially transports the rice noodles to the cooking and feeding mechanism, which feeds the cooking units sequentially. After cooking for a certain time in the cooking frame, the rice noodles are flipped over and placed into the washing frame of the washing unit for rinsing. After rinsing, they are flipped over again and placed into the dispensing hopper of the tray-dispensing mechanism. With the cooperation of the gantry truss and hopper assembly, the dispensing hopper dispenses the rice noodles into different compartments of the dispensing frame. The soaking process begins simultaneously with the rice noodles falling into the dispensing frame. This solution automatically performs cutting, cooking, washing, dispensing, and soaking of the rice noodle extruded from the machine, achieving automatic optimization and dispensing after extrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, the quantitative cutting mechanism includes two opposing cylinder cutters installed below the extrusion port of the rice noodle machine, with the blades of the two cylinder cutters having a U-shaped structure arranged opposite each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the powder conveying mechanism includes a conveying linear module perpendicular to the feeding linear module, and a conveying unit that moves with the module slider; the conveying unit includes a conveying motor mounted on the module slider, and a powder-discharging disc connected to the output shaft of the conveying motor via a connecting arm, wherein the flipping discharge position of the powder-discharging disc matches the feeding position of the feeding disc in the powder-cooking feeding mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the powder cooking frame flipping device of the powder cooking unit, the rinsing frame flipping device of the rinsing unit, and the feeding tray flipping device of the feeding unit adopt a drive motor with the output shaft perpendicular to the material transport direction. The powder cooking frame, rinsing frame, and feeding tray are connected to the output shaft of the drive motor through a connecting arm.

[0015] Furthermore, the cooking tank is equipped with a valve-controlled cooking water inlet pipe, a cooking water outlet pipe, and a cooking tank water level gauge. A heating device and a temperature sensing device are installed inside the cooking tank. The rinsing tank is equipped with a valve-controlled rinsing water inlet pipe and a rinsing water outlet pipe. The rinsing tank is connected to the output end of an air compressor and / or equipped with an ultrasonic transducer to increase the movement frequency of the rinsing water.

[0016] Furthermore, the powder dispensing tank is a grid-shaped tank capable of accommodating four dispensing frames. The powder dispensing tank is arranged in a clockwise or counterclockwise sequence with an inlet frame position, a dispensing position, a middle position, and an outlet frame position, wherein the dispensing position is located on the side near the rinsing mechanism. The powder dispensing tank is equipped with a pusher cylinder I that pushes the dispensing frame from the dispensing position to the middle position, and a pusher cylinder II that pushes the dispensing frame from the middle position to the outlet frame position. A frame lifting mechanism is installed on the upper part of the outlet frame position to lift the dispensing frame entering the outlet frame position out of the powder dispensing tank.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame suspended on the exit frame position by lifting the linear module. The lifting frame has a T-shaped insertion groove that mates with the top of the sub-packaging frame. The sub-packaging frame slides into the T-shaped insertion groove and moves up and down with the lifting frame.

[0018] Furthermore, the hopper gate assembly includes a hopper gate hinged to the discharge port of the dispensing hopper, and a hopper gate tilting motor for controlling the tilting of the hopper gate.

[0019] The advantages and effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model provides an automatic optimization and packaging system for the back end of a small rice noodle machine. It can automatically optimize the rice noodles after extrusion by quantitatively cutting, secondary cooking, and multiple washing processes, and automatically package the optimized rice noodles into frames and soak them. Using this system can continuously and effectively optimize and package the extruded powder, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency of rice noodles and ensuring product quality.

[0021] This invention can simultaneously cook and rinse multiple portions of rice noodles, enabling continuous production through time control and further improving rice noodle production efficiency. The solution integrates rice noodle packaging and soaking into a single device; the soaking process begins as soon as the rice noodles fall into the packaging frame, with packaging and soaking occurring simultaneously, thus reducing production time.

[0037] The rice noodle conveying mechanism 2 is located below the quantitative cutting mechanism 1 and includes a conveying linear module 21 and a conveying unit mounted below the conveying mechanism 2 via a mounting bracket. The conveying unit moves with the module slider of the conveying linear module 21. The conveying unit includes a conveying motor 23 mounted on the module slider and a rice noodle dropping tray 22 connected to the output shaft of the conveying motor 23 via a connecting arm. The output shaft of the conveying motor 23 is parallel to the conveying linear module 21. The conveying motor 23 drives the rice noodle dropping tray 22 to flip, causing the rice noodles to fall into the rice noodle cooking and feeding mechanism 3.

[0038] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the powder feeding mechanism 3, the powder cooking mechanism 4, and the rinsing mechanism 5 are sequentially installed in the washing and rinsing machine housing 7. The powder feeding mechanism 3 is installed on the side wall of the washing and rinsing machine housing 7 and includes a feeding linear module 31, a feeding unit, and a feeding lifting cylinder 34. The feeding lifting cylinder 34 is installed on the side wall of the washing and rinsing machine housing 7 to lift the feeding linear module 31. In this embodiment, the feeding lifting cylinder 34 is set to overcome the installation height limitations of the powder conveying mechanism 2 and the powder feeding mechanism 3, and can be set according to production needs.

[0039] The feeding linear module 31 is arranged perpendicularly to the feeding linear module 31 of the powder conveying mechanism 2, and the feeding unit moves with the module slider of the feeding linear module 31. The feeding unit includes a feeding tray flipping device 33 fixed to the module slider.

[0040] The rice noodle cooking mechanism 4 includes a cooking tank 41, cooking units 42, a heating device 43, a temperature sensor 44, and a cooking water level gauge 45. The cooking tank 41 and cooking units 42 are installed on the top of the cooking and washing machine housing 7. The cooking tank 41 is an elongated tank arranged parallel to the feeding linear module 31. The cooking units 42 are five units arranged in an array along the length of the cooking tank 41 on the discharge side of the cooking tank 41. The cooking units 42 collect the rice noodles output by the flipping of the feeding tray 32. That is, the cooking tank 41 and the feeding linear module 31 are perpendicular to the material transport direction. The upper part of the cooking tank 41 is connected to the cooking water inlet pipe, and the bottom is connected to the cooking water outlet pipe. The cooking water inlet pipe and the cooking water outlet pipe are equipped with valves to control the on / off state. Before each use of the device, water is added to the cooking tank 41 and the water in the cooking tank 41 is preheated. After use, the wastewater in the cooking tank 41 is discharged. A heating device 43 is installed inside the rice noodle cooking tank 41 to heat the cooking water. The heating device 43 is an electric heating tube installed on the tank wall. A temperature sensor 44 is installed on the tank wall to monitor the water temperature, and a rice noodle level gauge 45 is installed on the tank wall to detect the water level and prevent dry burning.

[0041] The cooking unit 42 includes a cooking frame flipping device 422 fixed to the top of the cooking and washing machine box 7. The cooking frame flipping device 422 adopts a flipping motor with the output shaft parallel to the cooking tank 41. The cooking frame 421 is connected to the output shaft of the flipping motor through a connecting arm. Under the drive of the cooking frame flipping device 422, the cooking frame 421 flips from the cooking tank 41 to the washing mechanism 5 to discharge the material.

[0042] The rinsing mechanism 5 includes a rinsing pool 51 and rinsing units 52 installed on the top of the cooking and washing machine 7. The rinsing pool 51 is an elongated pool arranged parallel to the cooking pool 41. The rinsing units 52 are five units located along the length of the pool on the discharge side of the rinsing pool 51. The rinsing pool 51 is divided into five rinsing compartments 511 corresponding to the number and position of the rinsing units 52. That is, the positions and numbers of the rinsing compartments 511, rinsing units 52, and cooking units 42 correspond one-to-one along the material transport direction. The cooking units 42 output rice noodles to the corresponding rinsing units 52. The rinsing compartments 511 are connected to a rinsing inlet pipe at the top and a rinsing outlet pipe at the bottom. Valves are installed on the rinsing inlet and outlet pipes to control their on / off states. Each batch of rice noodles needs to be rinsed 2-3 times to cool it down. Ultrasonic transducers 53 are installed on the side walls of the rinsing compartments 511 to increase the movement of the rinsing water.

[0043] The rinsing unit 52 includes a rinsing frame flipping device 522 fixed to the top of the washing machine box 7. The rinsing frame flipping device 522 adopts a flipping motor with the output shaft parallel to the rinsing tank 51. The rinsing frame 521 is connected to the output shaft of the flipping motor through a connecting arm. Under the drive of the rinsing frame flipping device 522, the rinsing frame 521 flips from the rinsing tank 51 to the tray dispensing mechanism 6 to discharge material.

[0044] As attached Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the tray-loading and dispensing mechanism 6 is installed at the discharge end of the rinsing mechanism 5. It includes a rice noodle soaking tank 61, a dispensing frame 62, and a tray-loading module. The rice noodle soaking tank 61 is placed on the rice noodle soaking support, and the dispensing frame 62 is placed inside the rice noodle soaking tank 61. Under the action of buoyancy, the upper part of the frame is higher than the water surface, and the lower part of the frame is placed inside the rice noodle soaking tank 61. The dispensing frame 62 has dispensing grids arrayed along the X and Y directions. The dispensing grids have mesh holes for liquid to pass through. The rice noodles placed in the dispensing grids will automatically undergo the soaking process. In this embodiment, the powder-filling tank 61 is a grid-shaped tank capable of accommodating four dispensing frames 62. The powder-filling tank 61 is arranged counter-clockwise with an inlet frame 611, a dispensing frame 612, a middle position 613, and an outlet frame 614. A partition is installed between the inlet frame 611 and the outlet frame 614. The inlet frame 611 and the dispensing frame 612 are located near the rinsing mechanism 5. The location of the dispensing frame 612 near the rinsing mechanism 5 helps reduce the material transport distance. The powder-filling tank 61 is connected to a valve-controlled powder inlet pipe and a powder outlet pipe, and is equipped with a powder level gauge 615. Before each use, the powder-filling tank 61 is replenished with water, and after use, the wastewater in the powder-filling tank 61 is discharged.

[0045] A push-frame cylinder I66 is installed on the side wall of the powder holder to push the dispensing frame 62 from the dispensing position 612 to the middle position 613. A push-frame cylinder II67 is installed on the other side wall to push the dispensing frame 62 from the middle position 613 to the exit position 614. The push-frame cylinders I66 and II67 are equipped with corresponding push plates. A frame lifting mechanism 68 is installed on the upper part of the exit position 614 to lift the dispensing frame 62 entering the exit position 614 from the powder tank 61. The lifting mechanism 68 includes a lifting linear module 682 installed on the side wall of the powder holder and a lifting frame 681 that moves up and down with the module slider. The lifting frame 681 is suspended above the exit position 614. The lifting frame 681 has a T-shaped insertion groove that matches the top of the dispensing frame 62. An insertion sensor 683 is installed in the insertion groove to sense whether there is a dispensing frame 62 in the groove. When the pusher cylinder II67 pushes the sub-packing frame 62 from the middle position 613 to the exit position 614, the sub-packing frame 62 slides into the lifting frame 681 and is lifted upward with the lifting frame 681, ending the powder preparation process and making it easier for workers to remove the sub-packing frame 62.

[0046] The tray-loading module is installed above the powder tank 61 to feed the dispensing frame 62 into sections. The tray-loading module adopts a gantry structure, including a gantry truss 63 with X and Y direction displacement, and a dispensing bucket 64 installed at the working end of the gantry truss 63. The gantry truss 63 includes a gantry frame body, and a Y-axis linear module and an X-axis linear module stacked on the gantry frame body in sequence. The dispensing bucket 64 is installed on the module slider of the X-axis linear module and can be displaced in the X and Y directions. The structure of the gantry truss 6 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The dispensing hopper 64 includes a main hopper body fixed to the module slider of the X-axis linear module via a connecting plate, and a hopper gate assembly 65 that controls the opening and closing of the main hopper body's discharge port. The hopper gate assembly 65 includes a hopper gate 651 hinged to the discharge port of the dispensing hopper 64, and a hopper gate flipping motor 652 connected to a hinge shaft to drive the hopper gate 651 to flip. The receiving position of the dispensing hopper 64 matches the flipping discharge position of the rinsing frame 521. Driven by the gantry truss 63, the dispensing hopper 64 can sequentially receive the rice noodles output from the arrayed rinsing units 52 and transport the rice noodles to the top of the corresponding dispensing compartment of the dispensing frame 62. The hopper gate 651 opens and the rice noodles fall into the corresponding dispensing compartment.

[0048] The main control device 8 is located on one side of the tray dispensing mechanism 6. All sensors and measuring devices are connected to the main control device 8, which controls the operation of each component. In the above scheme, each linear module adopts an existing linear module, which typically includes a base, belt, slider, motor, etc., and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] The working process of the automatic optimized packaging system at the back end of the small rice noodle machine described in this embodiment is as follows:

[0050] S1. First, add water to the rice noodle cooking tank 41 and preheat the water in the rice noodle cooking tank 41; add water to the rice noodle soaking tank 61.

[0051] S2. The rice noodle machine extrudes rice noodles, and the cylinder cutter 11 starts at a time to cut the rice noodles. The cut rice noodles fall into the rice noodle dropping tray 22 of the rice noodle dropping and conveying mechanism 2. The conveying linear module 21 transports the rice noodle dropping tray 22 to the discharge position that cooperates with the rice noodle cooking and feeding mechanism 3.

[0052] S3. The powder feeding mechanism 3 starts and transports the feeding tray 32 to the receiving position that is longitudinally matched with the powder dropping tray 22. The transport motor 23 drives the powder dropping tray 22 to rotate 50° to pour the powder into the feeding tray 32. After the powder dropping tray 22 discharges the powder, it returns to the initial position to wait for powder to be received.

[0053] S4. The feeding lifting cylinder 34 is activated to lift the feeding linear module 31 and the feeding unit to the discharge height. The feeding linear module 31 transports the feeding tray 32 to the position corresponding to the first powder cooking unit 42. The feeding tray flipping device 33 drives the feeding tray 32 to flip 50° to pour the powder into the powder cooking frame 421. Then the feeding unit returns to its original position, and the feeding lifting cylinder 34 returns to its original position, waiting to receive the powder.

[0054] S5. Following steps S2-S4, the powder is sequentially fed into five powder cooking units 42 arranged in an array along the length of the powder cooking tank 41, and then the above steps are continuously performed to continuously feed the powder cooking mechanism 4.

[0055] S6. After the rice noodles are cooked in the rice noodle cooking frame 421 for a set time in 100° hot water, the rice noodle cooking frame flipping device 422 drives the rice noodle cooking frame 421 to flip 130° and pour the noodles into the corresponding rinsing frame 521 for rinsing and cooling. Then the rice noodle cooking frame 421 flips back to its original position.

[0056] S7. The water inlet and drain of the rinsing grid 511 are carried out alternately. After the rice noodles are rinsed in the rinsing frame 521 for a set time, the rinsing frame flipping device 522 drives the rinsing frame 521 to flip 130° to pour the noodles into the dispensing hopper 64 of the tray dispensing mechanism 6. Then the rinsing frame 521 flips back to its original position.

[0057] S8. Manually place the dispensing frame 62 into the inlet frame position 611 and push it to the dispensing position 612 to wait for powder to be received. The inlet frame position 611 is filled with dispensing frame 2 to wait. The dispensing hopper 64 is located at the initial receiving position. Under the drive of the gantry truss 63 and the control of the hopper assembly 65, the dispensing hopper 64 sequentially receives the powder output from the 5 rinsing units 52 set in the array and places it into the 15 small compartments of the dispensing frame 62. After the 15 small compartments are filled, the dispensing frame 62 is full.

[0058] S9. After the dispensing frame 2 is full, the pusher cylinder I66 pushes the dispensing frame 62 from the dispensing position 612 to the middle position 613. When the dispensing position 62 is empty, the dispensing frame 62 is manually pushed into the dispensing position 612 to wait for powder to be received. After the dispensing frame 62 stays in the middle position 613 for a set time, the pusher cylinder II67 pushes the dispensing frame 62 from the middle position 613 to the exit position 614 and slides into the lifting frame 681.

[0059] S10. When the frame sensor 683 inside the lifting frame 681 senses the sub-packaging frame 62, the lifting mechanism 68 starts to lift the sub-packaging frame 62 to drain water. The sub-packaging frame 62 is then manually pulled out, and then the sub-packaging frame 62 falls back to its original position with the lifting frame 681, thus completing the sub-packaging of one sub-packaging frame 62. Repeating steps S8-S10 can achieve continuous frame loading.

[0060] The automatic optimization and packaging system at the back end of the small rice noodle machine described in this embodiment can automatically perform quantitative cutting, secondary cooking, multiple washing, packaging into frames, and soaking processes on the rice noodles extruded by the rice noodle machine. This realizes automatic optimization and packaging after the rice noodle machine extrudes the noodles, bringing convenience and improvement to rice noodle production.

[0061] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations of these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
