Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a tablet press for processing sheet foods. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, a tablet press, also known as a tablet maker, is a food processing device that compresses food powder into a sheet-like structure.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN221843784U discloses a food tablet press that facilitates material handling, including a machine body. A top mold assembly is provided at the upper end of the machine body. A support seat is fixedly connected to one side of the top wall of the machine body. A guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support seat. A screening assembly is provided on one side of the machine body below the guide plate. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the machine body. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the top of the machine body and is fixedly connected to a sliding plate. Pressure rods are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom end of the sliding plate.

[0004] In the above technical solution, by setting up a pneumatic telescopic rod, a push plate, a guide plate and a top mold assembly, the food that has been pressed into tablets inside the support seat is ejected by the top mold assembly, and then the pneumatic telescopic rod is used to drive the push plate to move, so that the pressed food tablets discharged from the top mold are pushed out by the guide plate, thereby realizing automatic material handling.

[0005] However, in actual use, it was found that after one flattening, food powder had to be poured back into the carrier, which made continuous feeding impossible and affected the overall tableting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tableting machine for processing sheet food, which can continuously feed materials to improve the overall tableting efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tableting machine for processing sheet food, comprising a machine base, the machine base having a through mold cavity, the mold cavities being multiple and spaced apart from each other, the two sides of the machine base serving as an outlet end and an inlet end respectively, the inlet end having an inlet frame for receiving food powder, an inlet hydraulic cylinder for pushing the inlet frame upwards towards the mold cavity to allow the food powder to enter the mold cavity, a tableting hydraulic cylinder for the top of the mold cavity, a first connecting plate for the output end of the tableting hydraulic cylinder, a pressure rod for the bottom of the first connecting plate opposite to the mold cavity, an outlet hydraulic cylinder for the bottom of the machine base, a second connecting plate for the output end of the outlet hydraulic cylinder, a push rod for the second connecting plate opposite to the mold cavity, one end of the push rod extending into the mold cavity to support the food powder inside the mold cavity, and the outlet hydraulic cylinder ejecting the formed sheet food.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a detachable hopper is provided at the top of the feeding frame, the hopper includes a vertical part and a guiding part, the guiding part is integrally connected to the top of the vertical part, and the horizontal distance between the guiding part and the feeding frame decreases from top to bottom to form an inclined guiding sidewall.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a first connecting part is provided horizontally on the outer periphery of the bottom of the vertical part, and a second connecting part is provided horizontally on the top of the feeding frame, and the second connecting part and the first connecting part are connected by a locking member.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the vertical part is provided with a horizontally arranged rotatable shaft, a motor for driving the shaft to rotate is provided on one side of the vertical part, a feeding rod is provided on the outer periphery of the shaft, there are multiple feeding rods and they are spaced apart from each other along the axis of the shaft, the feeding rods rotate through the shaft to continuously turn the food powder in the feeding frame.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: buffer plates are provided on both sides of the machine table surface, a guide rod is provided along the vertical direction of the machine table surface, a guide hole is provided on the buffer plate opposite to the guide rod, the buffer plate is fitted onto the guide rod through the guide hole, a buffer spring is fitted around the outer periphery of the guide rod, and the two ends of the buffer spring are embedded in the machine table and the buffer plate.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the discharge end is provided with a feeding plate, and the height of the feeding plate decreases sequentially along the direction away from the machine platform to form an inclined feeding sidewall.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] Because of the movable feeding frame, after the food powder is poured into the feeding frame, the feeding hydraulic cylinder can push the feeding frame back and forth by pushing out and resetting the output end. This allows the food powder in the feeding frame to be continuously pushed into the mold cavity, thus achieving continuous feeding. This reduces the number of times workers need to pour food powder into the feeding frame, thereby improving the overall tableting efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a tablet press for processing sheet food, including a machine base 1. The machine base 1 has a through mold cavity 2 on its table surface. There are multiple mold cavities 2, which are spaced apart from each other. The two sides of the machine base 1 serve as the discharge end and the feeding end, respectively. The feeding end is provided with a feeding frame 3, which is used to receive food powder. A feeding hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided on one side of the feeding frame 3, which is used to push the feeding frame 3 above the mold cavity 2 so that the food powder enters the mold cavity 2.

[0021] A pressing hydraulic cylinder 5 is provided above the mold cavity 2. The output end of the pressing hydraulic cylinder 5 is provided with a first connecting plate 51. The bottom of the first connecting plate 51 is provided with a pressing rod 52 opposite to the mold cavity 2. A discharge hydraulic cylinder 6 is provided below the table surface of the machine base 1. The output end of the discharge hydraulic cylinder 6 is provided with a second connecting plate 61. The second connecting plate 61 is provided with a push rod 62 opposite to the mold cavity 2. One end of the push rod 62 extends into the mold cavity 2 to support the food powder entering the mold cavity 2, and the formed sheet food is ejected by the discharge hydraulic cylinder 6.

[0022] Thus, during tableting, after the worker pours the food powder into the feeding frame 3, the feeding hydraulic cylinder 4 pushes the feeding frame 3 towards the mold cavity 2. The feeding frame 3 then pushes the food powder into the mold cavity 2 along with the powder. Under gravity, the food powder enters the mold cavity 2. The feeding hydraulic cylinder 4 then resets, causing the feeding frame 3 to reset as well. As the feeding frame 3 resets, it scrapes away excess food powder at the opening of the mold cavity 2 during its movement, and under its own gravity, it also helps to clean the mold cavity 2. The food powder inside is initially flattened to facilitate subsequent pressing and shaping. Then, the pressing hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the pressing rod 52 to press the food powder in the mold cavity 2, thus pressing the food powder into a sheet. Then, the discharge hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the push rod 62 to push the formed food sheet out of the mold cavity 2. Then, the above driving steps of the feeding frame 3 are repeated to continuously press the sheet. In this way, continuous feeding of the mold cavity 2 can be achieved, and the number of times the worker pours food powder into the feeding frame 3 can be reduced, thereby improving the overall pressing efficiency.

[0023] In this embodiment, a detachable hopper 7 is provided at the top of the feeding frame 3. The hopper 7 consists of a vertical part 71 and a guiding part 72. The guiding part 72 is integrally connected to the top of the vertical part 71. The horizontal distance between the guiding part 72 and the feeding frame 3 decreases from top to bottom to form an inclined guiding sidewall. In this way, the hopper 7 can play a limiting and guiding role when food powder is poured into the frame, reducing the spillage of food powder. It should also be noted that the height of the hopper 7 should be less than the height of the pressure rod 52 when it is in the reset state, so as to avoid interference between the hopper 7 and the pressure rod 52 during the movement of the feeding frame 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, a horizontally rotatable shaft 8 is provided in the vertical part 71. The two ends of the shaft 8 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the vertical part 71 through bearings. In addition, the vertical part 71 can also facilitate the installation of the shaft 8. A motor 9 for driving the shaft 8 to rotate is provided on one side of the vertical part 71. A feeding rod 10 is provided on the outer periphery of the shaft 8. There are multiple feeding rods 10, which are spaced apart from each other along the axis of the shaft 8. During the long-term tableting process, if the food powder is left for too long, it is easy for the food powder to become sticky, affecting the overall flowability. As a result, the food powder does not fall into the mold cavity 2 sufficiently, affecting the overall tableting effect. Therefore, by setting the shaft 8 and feeding rods 10, the motor 9 drives the shaft 8 to rotate, and the feeding rods 10 can continuously turn the food powder in the feeding frame 3 to ensure the flowability of the food powder.

[0025] In this embodiment, a first connecting part 711 is horizontally arranged on the outer periphery of the bottom of the vertical part 71, and a second connecting part 31 is horizontally arranged on the top of the feeding frame 3. The second connecting part 31 and the first connecting part 711 are connected by a locking member, which is a bolt and nut. Corresponding connecting holes are provided on the first connecting part 711 and the second connecting part 31. Thus, when the hopper 7 is installed on the feeding frame 3, after aligning their respective connecting holes, the hopper 7 and the feeding frame 3 can be detachably connected by inserting bolts and locking with nuts. This facilitates the maintenance of the rotating shaft 8 and the feeding rod 10 inside the hopper 7.

[0026] In this embodiment, buffer plates 11 are further provided on both sides of the machine base 1. A guide rod 12 is provided on the machine base 1 along the vertical direction. The buffer plate 11 is provided with a guide hole opposite to the guide rod 12. The buffer plate 11 is fitted onto the guide rod 12 through the guide hole. In this way, the guide rod 12 can play a guiding role during the movement of the buffer plate 11. A buffer spring 13 is fitted on the outer periphery of the guide rod 12. The two ends of the buffer spring 13 are embedded in the machine base 1 and the buffer plate 11. During the process of the pressing hydraulic cylinder 5 driving the first connecting plate 51 to move downward, the side of the first connecting plate 51 can contact the side plate of the buffer plate 11 to drive the buffer plate 11 to move downward. As the buffer plate 11 moves downward, it can gradually squeeze the buffer spring 13. The elastic force generated by the deformation of the buffer spring 13 can buffer the pressure applied by the first connecting plate 51, so that the pressure of the pressing rod 52 when it is pressed into the mold cavity 2 can be reduced to a certain extent, so as to prevent the lower push rod 62 from being damaged due to excessive pressure, thereby ensuring the stability of long-term use. It should be noted that the distance between the two buffer plates 11 should be greater than the width of the hopper 7, so as to avoid interference between the hopper 7 and the buffer plate 11 during the movement of the feeding frame 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, a feeding plate 14 is provided at the discharge end. The height of the feeding plate 14 decreases sequentially in the direction away from the machine 1 to form an inclined feeding side wall, which facilitates the collection of the formed sheet food.

[0028] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
