Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular to an optimized sesame seed cake machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, traditional sesame seed cake machines present numerous problems in practical applications: Existing sesame seed cake machines mostly employ unidirectional heating mechanisms, resulting in uneven heating of the cakes, affecting their taste and quality. Furthermore, their baking efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the demands of mass production. After baking, manual bagging is typically required, increasing labor costs, posing hygiene risks, and causing slow production processes and inefficiencies. While some semi-automatic sesame seed cake machines possess certain cake-clamping and conveying functions, the clamping device's structural design is flawed, resulting in poor cake-holding stability, leading to cakes falling or deforming. Additionally, the connection between the clamping and bagging stations is not smooth, making the cakes susceptible to damage during transfer. During bagging, positioning and opening the packaging bags are difficult. Manual assistance with opening is not only time-consuming but also struggles to ensure consistent opening, affecting bagging accuracy and efficiency, thus hindering overall production progress.

[0003] Therefore, given the shortcomings of existing sesame seed cake machines in terms of heating uniformity, automated bagging, cake clamping stability, and workstation connections, there is an urgent need for an optimized sesame seed cake machine to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing an optimized pancake maker.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: An optimized pancake machine includes a cylindrical shell, an inlet at the top of the cylindrical shell, an outlet on the side wall of the cylindrical shell, a pancake clamping device connected below the inlet, the pancake clamping device having a pancake clamping station connected to the inlet, heating mechanisms on both sides of the pancake clamping station, a bagging device below the pancake clamping device, the bagging device including a pancake filling station connected to the discharge port of the pancake clamping station, a baffle fixed at the bottom of the pancake box extending into the pancake filling station, a telescopic device provided beside the pancake filling station, a bag suction device fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic device, the bag suction device extending into the pancake filling station to form an adsorption telescopic state, and the pancake filling station connected to the outlet.

The telescopic end of the upper push-pull device is fixedly connected to a bracket, which is movably inserted into the baking box and passes through the pancake clamping station. The telescopic end of the lower push-pull device is fixedly connected to a push-pull rod, which is movably inserted into the baking box and hooks the movable wire mesh frame.

[0007] In the above-mentioned optimized pancake machine, a fixed frame is set inside the pancake box, and a fixed wire mesh is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame. A crossbar is set inside the pancake box. The top of the movable wire mesh is connected to the crossbar by a hook to form a swing connection. A guide wire mesh extends from the top of the movable wire mesh above the crossbar. A pull hook is set at the bottom of the movable wire mesh, and the pull hook is connected to the end of the push-pull rod.

[0008] In the above-mentioned optimized pancake maker, the heating mechanism includes a heating device one located on the inner wall of one side of the pancake box and a heating device two located on the inner wall of the other side of the pancake box. The heating device one is arranged on the outside of the fixed wire mesh frame, and the heating device two is arranged on the outside of the movable wire mesh frame.

[0009] In the above-mentioned optimized pancake machine, an automatic sealing component is provided between the pancake clamping station and the inlet. The automatic sealing component includes a rotating rod hinged in the pancake box, a flip cover is fixed on the rotating rod, and a counterweight is fixed at one end of the rotating rod.

[0010] In the above-mentioned optimized pancake machine, the bagging device includes a receiving frame, the cavity of the receiving frame forms the pancake loading station, a number of packaging bags are placed in the pancake loading station, the bag openings of the packaging bags are placed upwards, a sealing edge is protruding on one side of the bag opening, the baffle is fixed to the bottom of the pancake box and set downwards, and the sealing edge is blocked and limited by the baffle.

[0011] In the above-mentioned optimized pancake machine, the receiving frame includes an outer wall panel and an inner wall panel. A bottom plate is fixed between the bottom of the outer wall panel and the inner wall panel. A semi-enclosed rod is fixed on the outer wall panel, and the outer wall panel and the semi-enclosed rod form a bag storage space. The semi-enclosed rod opens a bag outlet facing the inner wall panel. A baffle is arranged between the outlet and the outer wall panel. A window is opened on the inner wall panel, and the bag suction device passes through the window to form free extension and retraction.

[0012] In the above-mentioned optimized pancake machine, a support is fixed inside the cylinder shell, and the telescopic device, the upper push-pull device, and the lower push-pull device are fixedly mounted on the support. The telescopic end of the telescopic device is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. At least two bag suction devices are arranged on the mounting frame. The bag suction devices are slidably connected to the mounting frame. A buffer spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bag suction device, and a limiting ring is protruding from the outer periphery of the bag suction device. The buffer spring is sandwiched between the mounting frame and the limiting ring. A suction cup is provided on the end of the bag suction device facing the pancake filling station.

[0013] In the above-mentioned optimized pancake machine, the cylinder shell includes a conical cylinder body and a circular cylinder cover.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this optimized pancake machine has the following advantages:

[0015] Improve baking efficiency and quality: Heating mechanisms are set on both sides of the baking station, and the bidirectional heating mode speeds up the baking process and improves production efficiency.

[0016] Automated bagging reduces labor costs and hygiene risks: The bagging device, with its telescopic mechanism and suction device working together, can automatically complete the suction, positioning, and opening of the packaging bag without human intervention, thus reducing labor costs. Furthermore, the fully automated operation reduces human contact with the sesame cakes and packaging bags, lowering hygiene risks and better meeting the hygiene standards of food processing.

[0017] Enhanced stability of the flatbread clamping device and reduced flatbread loss: The flatbread clamping device uses a combination of a fixed wire mesh frame and a movable wire mesh frame to form a flatbread clamping station. Combined with the support of the upper push-pull bracket and the drive of the lower push-pull rod, it can stably clamp the flatbread and prevent it from falling or deforming during baking. The movable wire mesh frame is connected to the crossbar by a hook to form a swing connection, which can flexibly adjust the clamping state and ensure that the flatbread falls smoothly when transferred, reducing the loss of flatbread.

[0018] Optimizing workstation connections improves overall production flow: The discharge port of the pancake-filling station is precisely connected to the bagging station. The bag suction device can accurately align the opening of the packaging bag with the discharge port, allowing the baked pancakes to fall smoothly into the packaging bag, preventing the pancakes from falling or shifting during the transfer process. At the same time, the flip-top design of the automatic sealing component can automatically close the entrance after the pancakes are put in, reducing heat loss and not affecting the normal falling of the pancakes. This ensures smooth connection between each workstation and improves the continuity of the overall production process.

[0019] The structure is reasonably designed and easy to operate and maintain: the cylindrical shell adopts a conical body and a round cover snap-fit ​​design, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance of internal components; each drive component (telescopic device, upper push-pull device, lower push-pull device, etc.) is fixed by brackets, and the layout is compact and stable; the receiving frame, semi-enclosed rod and other structures of the bag filling device reliably limit the packaging bag, ensuring that the bag filling process is carried out in an orderly manner. The overall structural design takes into account both functionality and practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this optimized pancake machine includes a cylindrical shell with an inlet at the top and an outlet on the side wall. A pancake clamping device is connected below the inlet, and the pancake clamping device has a pancake clamping station connected to the inlet. Heating mechanisms are provided on both sides of the pancake clamping station, and a bagging device is provided below the pancake clamping device. The bagging device includes a pancake filling station connected to the discharge port of the pancake clamping station. An expansion joint 18 is provided on the side of the pancake filling station. The expansion joint 18 can be a telescopic motor, and a bag suction device 20 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the expansion joint 18. The bag suction device 20 extends into the pancake filling station to form an adsorption telescopic state, and the pancake filling station is connected to the outlet.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, preferably, the pancake clamping device includes a pancake box 1, with a fixed wire mesh 2 and a movable wire mesh 3 installed opposite each other inside the pancake box 1, forming a pancake clamping station between the fixed wire mesh 2 and the movable wire mesh 3. An opening is opened at the bottom of the pancake box 1 corresponding to the discharge port of the pancake clamping station. An upper push-pull device 4 and a lower push-pull device 6 are installed on the outside of the pancake box 1. The telescopic end of the upper push-pull device 4 is fixedly connected to a bracket 5, which is movable and passes through the pancake box 1 and through the pancake clamping station. The telescopic end of the lower push-pull device 6 is fixedly connected to a push-pull rod 7, which is movable and passes through the pancake box 1 and hooks the movable wire mesh 3.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, both the upper push-pull device 4 and the lower push-pull device 6 are electric push rods. The bracket 5 is specifically a U-shaped rod. Two holes are correspondingly opened on one side wall of the baking box 1, and the two vertical bars of the U-shaped rod extend into the two holes to form a telescopic movement. A square groove is correspondingly opened on one side wall of the baking box 1, and the push-pull rod 7 of the lower push-pull device 6 extends into the square groove to form a telescopic movement. The upper push-pull device 4 is located above the lower push-pull device 6, so that the U-shaped rod is arranged above the push-pull rod 7, so that the dough is first supported by the U-shaped rod, and then the dough is released by the action of the push-pull rod 7.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, preferably, a fixed frame is provided inside the baking box 1, and a fixed wire mesh 2 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame. A crossbar is provided inside the baking box 1. The top of the movable wire mesh 3 is connected to the crossbar by a hook to form a swing connection. The top of the movable wire mesh 3 extends a guide wire mesh above the crossbar. A pull hook is provided at the bottom of the movable wire mesh 3, and the pull hook is connected to the end of the push-pull rod 7.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, both the fixed mesh frame 2 and the movable mesh frame 3 are crisscrossing metal meshes. The guide mesh frame is an upward extension of the movable mesh frame 3, and it is bent at an angle away from the fixed mesh frame 2, thereby widening the entrance of the dough clamping station to facilitate the introduction of dough. Through the swinging movement of the movable mesh frame 3, it forms various states with the fixed mesh frame 2, such as parallel or at an angle. When the bottoms of the two intersect, the dough is less likely to fall between them, and the bracket 5 helps to fix the dough in the dough clamping station for baking. When the tops of the two intersect or are parallel, the bracket 5 is removed, and the bottom of the dough clamping station is opened, which facilitates the falling of the baked dough.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, preferably, the heating mechanism includes a heating device 8 located on one inner wall of the baking box 1 and a heating device 9 located on the other inner wall of the baking box 1. Heating device 8 is arranged on the outside of the fixed wire mesh 2, and heating device 9 is arranged on the outside of the movable wire mesh 3. Both heating device 8 and heating device 9 are formed by heating wires arranged in a serpentine pattern, and the bracket 5 protrudes through the gaps in the coiled heating wires. Heating device 8 and heating device 9 are approximately parallel to the dough-holding station, thereby simultaneously baking both sides of the dough and accelerating the baking process.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, an automatic sealing assembly is provided between the pancake-making station and the inlet. The automatic sealing assembly includes a rotating rod 10 hinged inside the pancake box 1, a flip cover 11 fixed on the rotating rod 10, and a counterweight 12 fixed at one end of the rotating rod 10.

[0033] The flip cover 11 is specifically a long, bent strip. A rotating rod 10 is fixed to the inner bend of the strip and passes through the eccentricity of the counterweight 12. In its free state, the counterweight 12 swings downwards due to gravity, simultaneously rotating the rotating rod 10 and causing the flip cover 11 to flip and seal the entrance to the dough clamping station. When the dough falls from the entrance, its weight presses on the flip cover 11, causing it to flip and open the entrance, simultaneously rotating the rotating rod 10 and the counterweight 12. After the dough has completely fallen into the clamping station, the counterweight 12's gravity drives the flip cover 11 to seal the entrance again.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, preferably, the bagging device includes a receiving frame, the cavity of which forms a cake-filling station. A baffle 13 is fixed at the bottom of the baking box 1 and extends into the cake-filling station. Several packaging bags are placed in the cake-filling station with the bag opening facing upwards. A sealing edge protrudes from one side of the bag opening and is blocked and limited by the baffle 13.

[0035] Preferably, the receiving frame includes an outer wall panel 14 and an inner wall panel 15. A bottom plate 15 is fixed between the bottoms of the outer wall panel 14 and the inner wall panel 15. A semi-enclosed rod 17 is fixed on the outer wall panel 14. The outer wall panel 14 and the semi-enclosed rod 17 form a bag storage space. The semi-enclosed rod 17 opens a bag outlet towards the inner wall panel 15. A baffle 13 is arranged between the outlet and the outer wall panel 14. A window is opened on the inner wall panel 15. The bag suction device 20 passes through the window to form free extension and retraction.

[0036] Several packaging bags are placed upright in the storage space. They are restrained in an unloaded state by the two circumferentially bent ends of the semi-enclosed rod 17. The bags are also restrained in an unloaded state by a section of the flat plate 15. This combination of restraints ensures that the bags remain within the storage space when not under suction, preventing at least two bags from shifting directly below the opening and affecting proper material receiving.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, preferably, a support is fixed inside the cylinder shell, and the telescopic device 18, the upper push-pull device 4, and the lower push-pull device 6 are fixedly mounted on the support. The telescopic end of the telescopic device 18 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 19. Two or three bag suction devices 20 are arranged on the mounting frame 19, and the bag suction devices 20 are slidably connected to the mounting frame 19. A buffer spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bag suction device 20, and a limiting ring is protruding from the outer periphery of the bag suction device 20. The buffer spring is clamped between the mounting frame 19 and the limiting ring. A suction cup is provided on the end of the bag suction device 20 facing the cake filling station. When the suction cup contacts the packaging bag, the buffer spring provides a buffering force to avoid hard collisions.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, preferably, the cylindrical shell includes a conical cylindrical body 21 and a circular cylindrical cover 22. The bottom wall of the cylindrical body 21 is the small-diameter end, the top opening of the cylindrical body 21 is the large-diameter end, the cylindrical cover 22 is fastened to the top opening of the cylindrical body 21, an inlet is opened on the top wall of the cylindrical cover 22, and an outlet is opened on the side wall of the cylindrical body 21.

[0039] The snap-fit ​​design facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the cylinder body 21 and the cylinder cover 22. The inlet is designed as a long, narrow slot for accurate dough feeding. The outlet is designed as a rectangular or polygonal opening for easy removal of the packaged dough.

[0040] The operation process of this optimized pancake machine:

[0041] Raw dough is placed into the inlet of the cylinder shell. Its own weight pushes open the flap 11, allowing it to fall into the dough-clamping station. At this point, the upper push-pull device 4 extends its U-shaped rod, passing through the movable wire mesh 3 and the fixed wire mesh 2 to support the dough. The lower push-pull device 6 pushes the movable wire mesh 3 and the fixed wire mesh 2 to close the gap. Heating devices 8 and 9 are activated simultaneously to heat both sides of the dough until it is cooked. The telescopic device 18 extends its suction bag 20 through the window into the dough-filling station and sucks up a packaging bag. The telescopic device 18 retracts the suction bag 20, pulling the packaging bag until the baffle 13 blocks the sealed edge. The suction bag 20 then pulls the packaging bag open, ensuring the bag opening accurately connects to the discharge port of the dough-clamping station. The upper push-pull device 4 shortens its U-shaped rod and withdraws from the dough-clamping station. The lower push-pull device 6 pushes and pulls the movable wire mesh 3 back and forth, causing the dough to fall into the packaging bag. Finally, the packaged dough can be removed from the outlet on the side wall of the cylinder shell.
