Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gluten processing technology, specifically a gluten cutting and feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Gluten is a food made from wheat protein (mainly gluten and gliadin). It is processed from the elastic gelatinous substance remaining after washing away the starch from wheat dough. Currently, in the production of gluten, it is often necessary to cut it into segments. Traditional gluten cutting and feeding devices mostly cannot adjust the distance between multiple blades, and can only cut gluten segments of fixed length, which makes them not very practical. To address this, we propose a gluten cutting and feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gluten cutting and feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a gluten cutting and feeding device, comprising a feeding mechanism and a driving mechanism, wherein the feeding mechanism and the driving mechanism are welded together by two first brackets, and a cutting mechanism is fixedly installed on the moving end of the driving mechanism;
[0005] The slitting mechanism includes a connecting plate, and a plurality of mounting brackets are provided at equal intervals at the bottom of the connecting plate. Adaptive mounting strips are inserted into the mounting brackets, and slitting blades are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting strips through a horizontal plate. Limiting brackets are installed on the two mounting brackets at the two farthest ends.
[0006] Furthermore, the limiting bracket adopts a "U" shaped structure and has screw sleeves fixedly installed on both sides. The screw sleeves are internally threaded with locking screws. The two locking screws are fixedly connected to the two outermost mounting brackets respectively. The slots on the mounting brackets are T-shaped slots.
[0007] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a base frame, on which two transmission rollers are rotatably connected. One of the transmission rollers is driven by a motor on the outside of the base frame. A conveyor belt is installed on the two transmission rollers. Both sides of the base frame are welded with baffles via second brackets. The top of the baffles has a notch corresponding to the position where the insert is installed.
[0008] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a fixed housing, a cylinder is installed on the right side of the fixed housing, a wheel frame is installed inside the fixed housing through the telescopic end of the cylinder, an extrusion wheel is rotatably connected to the wheel frame, a trapezoidal extrusion block is also slidably connected in the vertical direction inside the fixed housing, a connecting rod is symmetrically installed at the bottom of the trapezoidal extrusion block, a return spring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod at the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed housing, and the top of the return spring is in contact with the bottom of the trapezoidal extrusion block.
[0009] Furthermore, the inclined surface of the trapezoidal extrusion block is provided with a groove for use with the extrusion wheel, the bottom end of the connecting rod extends through to the outside of the fixed shell and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the two ends of the first bracket are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed shell and the base frame, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, an elastic metal sheet is installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt at the position corresponding to the position between the two baffles.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This invention, after the motor is turned on, drives the conveyor belt to run continuously at a slow speed via the transmission roller. The gluten to be cut is placed in from the left side. After the control cylinder is activated, its drive end causes the wheel frame and extrusion wheel to move intermittently left and right. When the extrusion wheel moves to the left, it presses the trapezoidal extrusion block downwards, causing the return spring to contract. Connected by the connecting rod, this drives the cutting mechanism to move vertically downwards, cutting the gluten during transport. When the extrusion wheel moves to the right, the return spring pushes the trapezoidal extrusion block back to its original position, thereby driving the cutting mechanism upwards. This cycle repeats to achieve the gluten cutting operation, adjusting the length according to the required cutting length. Different mounting brackets can be selected to connect the mounting strips, thereby adjusting the spacing between two adjacent cutting blades. The limit bracket is installed through the screw sleeve and locking screw, which can then be fixed from the front side of the mounting strip to ensure the stability of the cutting blades during cutting. This gluten cutting and feeding device has a reasonable structural design and is easy to use. The length of the cutting segments can be effectively adjusted according to the actual processing requirements of the gluten, so that gluten segments of different lengths can be cut. It has high practicality and applicability, and the cutting process is highly stable with excellent cutting effect, which is conducive to its widespread use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 A gluten cutting and feeding device includes a feeding mechanism 1 and a driving mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 1 and the driving mechanism 2 are welded together by two first brackets 3. A cutting mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the moving end of the driving mechanism 2.
[0021] The slitting mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 41. Several mounting brackets 42 are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate 41. Adaptive mounting strips 43 are inserted into the mounting brackets 42. The bottom of the mounting strips 43 is fixedly connected to the slitting blades 45 through the horizontal plate 44. Limiting brackets 46 are installed on the two mounting brackets 42 at the two ends. By selecting different mounting brackets 42 to insert the mounting strips 43, the distance between two adjacent slitting blades 45 can be adjusted, and gluten segments of different lengths can be cut. The mounting strips 43 are slid in through the open end on the front side of the mounting bracket 42, thereby realizing the initial insertion and fixation of the horizontal plate 44 and the slitting blades 45.
[0022] The limiting stop 46 adopts a "U" shaped structure and is fixedly installed with screw sleeves 47 on both sides. The screw sleeves 47 are internally threaded with locking screws 48. The two locking screws 48 are fixedly connected to the two outermost mounting brackets 42 respectively. The slots on the mounting brackets 42 are T-shaped slots. After all the slitting blades 45 are installed, the limiting stop 46 is installed through the screw sleeves 47 and locking screws 48, so that it can be limited and fixed from the front side of the mounting strip 43 to ensure the stability of the slitting blades 45 during slitting.
[0023] The feeding mechanism 1 includes a base frame 11. Support legs can be installed on the outside or bottom of the base frame 11 to support the overall equipment and improve working stability. Two transmission rollers 12 are rotatably connected to the inside of the base frame 11. One of the transmission rollers 12 is driven by a motor 13 on the outside of the base frame 11. A conveyor belt 14 is installed on the two transmission rollers 12. Baffle plates 16 are welded to both sides of the base frame 11 through second brackets 15. The gluten to be cut is introduced from the left side of the conveyor belt 14. The baffle plates 16 block and limit the movement from both sides to prevent the gluten from shifting due to friction and vibration during the conveying process of the conveyor belt 14, which would affect the cutting effect. A notch 17 is opened at the top of the baffle plate 16 corresponding to the position where the insert 42 is installed. The notch 17 allows the cutting blade 45 to pass through and be used, so that when the cutting blade 45 moves vertically downward, it can achieve efficient cutting of the gluten without colliding with the baffle plate 16. A collection box can be set on the lower right side of the base frame 11 to collect the cut gluten.
[0024] The drive mechanism 2 includes a fixed housing 21. A cylinder 22 is mounted on the right side of the fixed housing 21. The telescopic end of the cylinder 22 extends into the interior of the fixed housing 21 and is fitted with a wheel frame 23. A pressing wheel 24 is rotatably connected to the wheel frame 23. A trapezoidal pressing block 25 is also slidably connected vertically inside the fixed housing 21. A connecting rod 26 is symmetrically mounted at the bottom of the trapezoidal pressing block 25. A return spring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed housing 21 corresponding to the outer side of the connecting rod 26. The top of the return spring 27 is connected to the trapezoidal pressing block 25. When the bottom parts are in contact with each other, after the control cylinder 22 is turned on, its drive end drives the wheel frame 23 and the extrusion wheel 24 to move left and right intermittently. When the extrusion wheel 24 moves to the left, it presses the trapezoidal extrusion block 25 downward, and the return spring 27 contracts. Under the connection of the connecting rod 26, it drives the cutting mechanism 4 to move vertically downward, thereby cutting the gluten during the conveying process. When the extrusion wheel 24 moves to the right, the return spring 27 pushes the trapezoidal extrusion block 25 back to its original position, thereby driving the cutting mechanism 4 to move upward. This cycle repeats to achieve the gluten cutting work.
[0025] The inclined surface of the trapezoidal extrusion block 25 is provided with a wheel groove 28 for use with the extrusion wheel 24. The wheel groove 28 can prevent the extrusion wheel 24 from falling off the inclined surface of the trapezoidal extrusion block 25 and affecting the transmission effect. The bottom end of the connecting rod 26 extends through to the outside of the fixed shell 21 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 41. The two ends of the first bracket 3 are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed shell 21 and the base frame 11, respectively.
[0026] An elastic metal sheet 18 is installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 14 at the position between the two baffles 16. The elastic metal sheet 18 has a certain toughness, which ensures that when the slitting blade 45 moves down to slit the rib, it will not come into contact with the conveyor belt 14 and cut it.
[0027] This gluten cutting and feeding device has a reasonable structural design and is easy to use. It can effectively adjust the length of the gluten segments according to the actual processing needs, so that it can cut gluten segments of different lengths. It has high practicality and applicability, and the cutting process is highly stable with excellent cutting effect, which is conducive to its widespread use.
[0028] In use, after the motor 13 is turned on, the conveyor belt 14 is driven by the transmission roller 12 to run slowly. The gluten to be cut is put in from the left side. After the control cylinder 22 is turned on, its drive end drives the wheel frame 23 and the extrusion roller 24 to move left and right intermittently. When the extrusion roller 24 moves to the left, it presses the trapezoidal extrusion block 25 downward, and the return spring 27 contracts. Under the connection of the connecting rod 26, it drives the cutting mechanism 4 to move vertically downward, thereby cutting the gluten during the conveying. When the extrusion roller 24 moves to the right, the return spring 27 pushes the trapezoidal extrusion block 25 back to its original position, thereby driving the cutting mechanism 4 to move upward. This cycle is repeated to achieve the gluten cutting work. According to the required length of the cut section, different mounting brackets 42 can be selected to insert the mounting strip 43 to adjust the distance between two adjacent cutting blades 45. The limit bracket 46 is installed by the screw sleeve 47 and the locking screw 48, which can then be fixed from the front side of the mounting strip 43 to ensure the stability of the cutting blade 45 during cutting.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
