Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to a device that can automatically sprinkle scallions. Background Technology

[0002] The core function of the automatic scallion-spreading device is to significantly improve the efficiency and quality consistency of food processing. The device is usually equipped with a storage bin, a quantitative distribution system, and a controllable spreading mechanism. During operation, the user only needs to put the chopped scallions into the bin, set or select the required spreading amount and coverage area, and the device can stably and evenly spread the scallions onto the surface of the steamed bun dough below through vibration, screw conveying, or airflow.

[0003] An automatic scallion-spreading machine, disclosed in patent CN217012704U, includes a drive mechanism and a scallion-spreading mechanism. The scallion-spreading mechanism comprises a hopper with openings at the top and bottom, a partition, and a stirring shaft. The upper end of the hopper is a feed inlet, and the lower end is a discharge outlet. The left and right ends of the stirring shaft are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the hopper. The stirring shaft includes a rotating shaft and a stirring rod mounted on the rotating shaft, with the length direction of the stirring rod perpendicular to the length direction of the rotating shaft. The partition is installed inside the hopper, dividing it into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The partition is located below the rotating shaft and has a notch for the stirring rod to pass through during the rotation of the stirring shaft. The power output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the stirring shaft. This patent achieves automated scallion-spreading. During scallion-spreading, the drive mechanism drives the stirring shaft to rotate, thereby rotating and discharging the scallions from the upper chamber into the lower chamber, where they fall through the discharge outlet and onto the dough on the conveyor belt of a dough forming machine.

[0004] The above-disclosed technical solution also has the following shortcomings: the scallion florets fall onto the surface of the dough through the discharge port, and the falling speed of the scallion florets cannot be adjusted to achieve different required amounts of scallion florets. In addition, the drive mechanism drives the mixing shaft to rotate and push the scallion florets in the upper chamber into the lower chamber, which easily causes mechanical compression marks on the scallion florets, seriously reducing their appearance quality. The scallion florets that are compressed are more likely to rot and spoil. Utility Model Content

A partition is provided outside the transmission roller, and a discharge port is provided inside the guide cover.

[0010] As an improvement to the device that can automatically sprinkle scallions, a guide plate is also installed at the bottom of the hopper. The guide plate is installed at an inclined angle, and a partition strip is provided on the upper surface of the guide plate. The guide plate is located below the transmission roller and the rotating roller, and directly above the belt.

[0011] As an improvement to the device that can automatically sprinkle scallions, the lower end of the hopper is provided with a support plate, and the support plate is fixed to the upper end of the bracket. An inclined guide plate is also installed on the outside of the support plate, and the inclined guide plate is located outside the guide plate.

[0012] As an improvement to the device that can automatically sprinkle scallions, an air guiding mechanism is also installed on the outer side of the lower end of the hopper. The air guiding mechanism consists of an air compressor, a regulating valve, a transmission pipe and a sealing mechanism. The air compressor is installed on the outer side of the lower end of the hopper and is connected to the inside of the rotating roller through the transmission pipe. A regulating valve is also installed on the transmission pipe, and a sealing mechanism is provided at the connection between the transmission pipe and the rotating roller.

[0013] As an improvement to the device that can automatically sprinkle scallions, the sealing mechanism includes an outer connector tube, a plug connector tube, a sleeve tube, and a sealing ring. The outer connector tube is fixed to the pulley, and a plug connector tube is provided on the outside of the outer connector tube. The plug connector tube is inserted into the sleeve tube.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an improved device for automatically sprinkling scallions, comprising a hopper 1, a bracket 2, a controller 3, a belt 4, and a support frame 5. The lower end of the hopper 1 is supported by the bracket 2 and mounted on the upper end of the support frame 5, and the controller 3 is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 5. The belt 4 is mounted on the inner side of the two support frames 5, and the hopper 1 is located directly above the belt 4.

[0029] A motor 101 is installed on the outer side of the lower end of the hopper 1, and the output end of the motor 101 rotates synchronously with the rotating roller 102 set at the lower end of the hopper 1. A transmission roller 103 is installed inside the hopper 1, and the transmission roller 103 is located above the rotating roller 102. A guide plate 104 is also installed on the inner wall of the hopper 1, and the guide plate 104 is located above the transmission roller 103.

[0030] The hopper 1 is also equipped with a transmission cover 105, and a gear 1051 is installed inside the transmission cover 105. The shaft of the gear 1051 is fixed to the shaft of the transmission roller 103. A pulley 1022 is provided at the shaft end of the rotating roller 102, and the pulley 1022 drives the gear 1051 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 1052.

[0031] It should be added that there are two gears 1051, and the two gears 1051 mesh with each other and rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the two guide rollers 103 to rotate in opposite directions.

[0032] A guide cover 1041 is welded to the lower end of the guide plate 104, and the guide cover 1041 is located outside the transmission roller 103. A spacer 1031 is provided on the outside of the transmission roller 103, and a discharge port 1042 is provided inside the guide cover 1041.

[0033] It should be added that multiple spacers 1031 are provided on the outer side of the conveying roller 103, forming multiple grooved cavities for carrying scallion shavings at the upper end of the conveying roller 103. The spacers 1031 on the outer side of the two conveying rollers 103 are interspersed and distributed, and there is a certain gap between the spacers 1031 on both sides. Through the cooperation of the spacers 1031 on the two conveying rollers 103 and the two guide covers 1041, the scallion shavings are conveyed downwards, which can effectively avoid mechanical compression of the scallion shavings. They are dispersed downwards through multiple discharge ports 1042, improving the dispersion effect of the scallion shavings. Furthermore, by controlling the speed of the motor 101, the speed of the conveying roller 103 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the speed of the scallion shavings discharge and realizing different required amounts of scallion shavings.

[0034] A guide plate 107 is also installed at the bottom of the hopper 1, and the guide plate 107 is installed at an inclined angle. A separator strip 1071 is provided on the upper surface of the guide plate 107. The guide plate 107 is located below the transmission roller 103 and the rotating roller 102, and the guide plate 107 is located directly above the belt 4.

[0035] It should be added that multiple dividing strips 1071 divide the upper part of the guide plate 107 into multiple channels for the lower row of scallion shavings, improving the dispersion effect of the scallion shavings on the surface of the dough.

[0036] A support plate 11 is provided at the lower end of the hopper 1, and the support plate 11 is fixed to the upper end of the bracket 2. An inclined guide plate 12 is also installed on the outside of the support plate 11, and the inclined guide plate 12 is located outside the guide plate 107.

[0037] It should be added that there are two support plates 11 and two inclined guide plates 12, and the two inclined guide plates 12 are installed symmetrically from left to right. The two inclined guide plates 12 limit the scallions and prevent the scallions from spilling outside the device during the discharge process, thus avoiding waste of scallions.

[0038] Please see Figure 6-7 This utility model provides an improved device for automatically sprinkling scallions. An air guiding mechanism 106 is also installed on the outer side of the lower end of the hopper 1. The air guiding mechanism 106 consists of an air compressor 1061, a regulating valve 1064, a transmission pipe 1065, and a sealing mechanism 1066. The air compressor 1061 is installed on the outer side of the lower end of the hopper 1, and the air compressor 1061 is connected to the inside of the rotating roller 102 through the transmission pipe 1065. The regulating valve 1064 is also installed on the transmission pipe 1065, and a sealing mechanism 1066 is provided at the connection between the transmission pipe 1065 and the rotating roller 102.

[0039] It should be added that the regulating valve 1064 is an SMC ITV3050-012BL electric pressure regulating valve, which regulates the air pressure generated by the air compressor 1061 to enter the inside of the rotating roller 102.

[0040] The sealing mechanism 1066 includes an outer connector tube 661, a plug connector tube 662, a sleeve tube 663, and a sealing ring 664. The outer connector tube 661 is fixed to the pulley 1022, and the plug connector tube 662 is provided outside the outer connector tube 661. The plug connector tube 662 is inserted into the sleeve tube 663. The sleeve tube 663 is fixed to the transmission tube 1065. A sealing ring 664 is installed at the connection between the outer connector tube 661 and the sleeve tube 663.

[0041] It should be added that the sleeve tube 663 has a groove inside that is the same size and structure as the connector tube 662. The diameter of the front end of the connector tube 662 is larger than that of the rear end, so that it can be stably installed inside the sleeve tube 663. Furthermore, the connector tube 662 can rotate inside the sleeve tube 663, ensuring a high degree of sealing between the roller 102 and the transmission tube 1065 during the rotation of the roller 102, thus preventing air leakage.

[0042] The front end of the air compressor 1061 is also connected to the drying box 1062, and the front end of the drying box 1062 is provided with a filter box 1063, and the front end of the filter box 1063 is connected to the transmission pipe 1065.

[0044] It should be added that the drying box 1062 is equipped with a dry heater, which can dry the gas generated by the air compressor 1061, and the filter box 1063 is equipped with a filter screen, which can filter the gas and remove particles from the gas, ensuring that the gas sprayed onto the scallions by the roller 102 through the jet hole 1021 has the characteristics of being dry and dust-free, and can prevent the scallions from clogging inside the hopper 1.

[0045] refer to Figures 1-7In use, chopped scallions are placed inside the hopper 1, and the dough for the steamed buns is laid flat on the surface of the belt 4 for transport. The motor 101 is started, driving the roller 102 to rotate. Driven by the pulley 1022 and the transmission belt 1052, the drive gear 1051 rotates synchronously. The two gears 1051 rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the two guide rollers 103 to rotate in opposite directions. During the opposite rotation of the two guide rollers 103, the externally installed spacers 1031... The chopped scallions are fed downwards. The rotation speed of the conveying roller 103 is controlled by the rotation speed of the motor 101, thereby adjusting the falling speed of the chopped scallions to achieve different required amounts of chopped scallions. With the guidance and transmission of the guide plate 104 and the guide cover 1041, the chopped scallions are dispersed downwards from multiple discharge ports 1042 and enter the guide plate 107. The guide plate 107 is divided into multiple channels for the downward discharge of chopped scallions by multiple dividing strips 1071 set at the upper end of the guide plate 107, so that the chopped scallions are evenly sprinkled on the surface of the flower roll dough.

[0046] At the same time, the air compressor 1061 is started to generate gas. The gas enters the drying box 1062 and the filter box 1063 for drying and filtration. After drying and filtration, it enters the roller 102 through the transmission pipe 1065 and is finally sprayed out from the air jet hole 1021 on the surface of the roller 102. By spraying gas, the scallion can be effectively prevented from clogging inside the hopper 1 and thus not being evenly sprinkled on the surface of the flower roll dough.
