Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food manufacturing feeding technology, specifically a feeding device for food manufacturing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Feeding devices are the starting point of the food manufacturing process, undertaking basic functions such as material conveying, metering, and distribution. Their stability directly determines the reliability of subsequent processes such as mixing, forming, and packaging. Feeding devices have a strategic position in food manufacturing that "affects the whole body if one part is affected." Their technological iteration is not only related to production efficiency and cost, but also determines whether enterprises can respond to market changes and meet consumers' high requirements for quality and safety. In the future, feeding devices with high precision, high flexibility, and low energy consumption will become the industry standard, driving the transformation of food manufacturing towards intelligence and sustainability.
[0003] In the food manufacturing industry chain, the feeding device is the "throat" of the production line, and its position directly affects product quality, production efficiency, and enterprise competitiveness. In current actual use, product formulas must strictly follow the raw material ratio. If the feeding amount deviates, it will lead to changes in the product's taste, texture, or nutritional value. For example, excessive sugar in biscuits will cause them to caramelize too quickly, while insufficient flour will affect the molding effect. Inability to feed in a quantitative manner will lead to inconsistent product quality between different batches from the same production line, damaging brand reputation. In addition, if it is not easy to clean, residual materials will corrode the equipment, shorten its lifespan, and increase maintenance costs. At the same time, residual materials can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold, thus making it difficult to improve the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content

[0015] 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.
[0016] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, a feeding device for a food manufacturing apparatus includes a fixed tank 1 and a feeding pipe 2. The feeding pipe 2 is connected to the top of the fixed tank 1, and a driving component 3 is provided on the top of the fixed tank 1.
[0017] The fixed tank 1 can store food raw materials, the feed pipe 2 can easily add food raw materials into the fixed tank 1, and the drive component 3 can easily drive the pusher plate 4 and the mounting pipe 7 to rotate.
[0018] The pusher plate 4 is located on the outside of the drive component 3, and the bottom of the fixed tank 1 is rotatably connected to the limit plate 5.
[0019] The pusher plate 4 can push the position of the raw material, thereby facilitating the push of the food raw material to the position of the discharge trough 6. The limiting plate 5 can provide space for the opening of the discharge trough 6, thereby facilitating the uniform discharge of the raw material in conjunction with the pusher plate 4.
[0020] The discharge chute 6 is located on the inner wall of the limiting plate 5, and the drive component 3 is provided with an installation tube 7 on the outer side.
[0021] The discharge trough 6 facilitates the discharge of a certain amount of food raw materials when the pusher plate 4 pushes the food raw materials to the top of the discharge trough 6.
[0022] The fixed bracket 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 7.
[0023] One end of the fixing frame 8 is attached to the inner wall of the fixing can 1, so that the food raw materials attached to the inner wall of the fixing can 1 can be cleaned when the driving component 3 drives the fixing frame 8 to rotate. This prevents the attachments on the inner wall of the fixing can 1 from causing cleaning difficulties when the fixing can 1 needs to be cleaned after changing the food raw materials.
[0024] A spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 7, and a limiting piece 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing bracket 8, with one side of the limiting piece 10 fixedly connected to one end of the spring 9.
[0025] Spring 9 can compress the fixing frame 8, making it easier for the fixing frame 8 to fit more closely to the inner wall of the fixing tank 1, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the attachments on the inner wall of the fixing tank 1. The limiting piece 10 can prevent the fixing frame 8 from falling out of the mounting tube 7 when it slides.
[0026] A mounting bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed tank 1, and bolts 12 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 11.
[0027] Mounting bracket 11 provides a fulcrum for the installation of bolt 12. The use of bolt 12 in conjunction with mounting bracket 11 facilitates the limiting of limit bracket 13.
[0028] The inner wall of the mounting bracket 11 is slidably connected to the limit bracket 13, and the outer side of the limit plate 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 14.
[0029] The use of the limiting frame 13 and the limiting strip 15 together can facilitate the limiting of the connecting block 14, thereby facilitating the limiting plate 5 and preventing the limiting plate 5 from loosening and causing the food raw materials in the fixed tank 1 to leak when the driving component 3 is running.
[0030] The inner wall of the mounting bracket 11 is slidably connected to a limiting strip 15 for limiting the connection block 14, and the inner wall of the limiting strip 15 is fixedly connected to a lever 16.
[0031] The inner wall of the limiting strip 15 is provided with a groove for use with the limiting frame 13, so that the limiting strip 15 can be limited and disengaged when needed. The lever 16 can be used to lift the limiting strip 15 when needed, so as to release the limiting of the connecting block 14 and thus release the limiting of the limiting plate 5.
[0032] A fixing rod 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed tank 1, and the outer side of the fixing rod 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 5. A pull rod 18 for pulling the limiting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 5.
[0033] The fixing rod 17 can assist the limiting plate 5 in rotating, so that the limiting plate 5 can be opened when the fixed tank 1 needs to be cleaned. The pull rod 18 can easily pull the limiting plate 5.
[0034] The driving component 3 includes a motor 31 fixed to the top of the fixed tank 1. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 32, and the outer side of the connecting rod 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting tube 7 and the pusher plate 4 respectively.
[0035] The motor 31 can drive the connecting rod 32 to rotate, the connecting rod 32 can drive the mounting tube 7 to rotate, and the mounting tube 7 can drive the fixing frame 8 to rotate, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the deposits on the inner wall of the fixing tank 1, thus preventing two different batches of raw materials from contaminating each other, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning. At the same time, the connecting rod 32 drives the pusher plate 4 to rotate, thereby pushing the raw material between the two sets of pusher plates 4 to move. When it moves to the discharge chute 6, the raw material can be transported to the next processing flow.
[0036] Working principle: First, food raw materials are fed into the fixed tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. Then, the motor 31 is started, which drives the connecting rod 32 to rotate. The connecting rod 32 drives the mounting pipe 7 to rotate, and the mounting pipe 7 drives the fixed frame 8 to rotate. This facilitates the cleaning of the deposits on the inner wall of the fixed tank 1, preventing cross-contamination between different batches of raw materials and reducing cleaning difficulty. At the same time, the connecting rod 32 drives the pusher plate 4 to rotate, thereby moving the raw materials between the two sets of pusher plates 4. When the raw materials move to the discharge chute 6, they can be transported to the next processing step. When cleaning the inside of tank 1, first turn bolt 12. Bolt 12 will release the limit on the limit frame 13. Then pull lever 16. Lever 16 will drive the limit bar 15 to move vertically. This will release the limit on the connecting block 14, thereby releasing the limit on the limit plate 5. Then pull lever 18. Lever 18 will drive the limit plate 5 to rotate around the axis of the fixed rod 17, thereby completing the opening and closing of the limit plate 5. Then the cleaning medium will be conveyed from the feed pipe 2. Then the motor 31 can be started again, thereby driving the fixed frame 8 and the pusher plate 4 to clean the inner wall of the fixed tank 1.
