Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, specifically relating to a recycling mechanism for dumpling wrapper scraps. Background Technology
[0002] In dumpling production equipment, when dumpling machines use molds to press or roll-cut the dough, excess dough (i.e., scraps) is generated at the edges. The handling of this excess dough is a crucial technical aspect, directly impacting production efficiency, cost control, and product quality. Initially, scraps were typically discarded as waste, leading to resource waste and increased costs. Alternatively, they could be collected after the machine was stopped for reprocessing, but this often resulted in the scraps accumulating for too long, becoming stale or spoiled. Reprocessing not only contaminates the production line but also poses health risks to consumers. Therefore, further improvements are needed in scrap handling. Utility Model Content

The support frame is provided with a cutting component, a first transport component, and a feeding area. The cutting component includes a first cutting wheel and a second cutting wheel arranged in parallel. The front ends of the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel are provided with annular flanges. The two flanges abut against each other to form a cutter. One end of the first transport component corresponds to the cutting component, and the other end corresponds to the feeding area. The second cutting wheel extends outward along the axial direction and has a boss. The cut scrap material fits into the boss and is conveyed to the first transport component as the boss rotates. The first transport component is used to transport the scrap material to the loading area to realize the recycling of the scrap material.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a recycling mechanism for dumpling wrapper scraps, including a support 1. The support 1 is equipped with a cutting component 2, a first transport component 3, and a feeding area 4. The cutting component 2 includes a first cutting wheel 21 and a second cutting wheel 22 arranged side by side. The front ends of the first cutting wheel 21 and the second cutting wheel 22 are each provided with an annular flange 23. The two flanges 23 abut against each other to form a cutter to cut off the excess scraps 5 on the dumpling wrapper. One end of the first transport component 3 corresponds to the cutting component 2, and the other end corresponds to the feeding area 4. The cutting component 2 also includes a guide bowl 26. The first cutting wheel 21 and the second cutting wheel 22 are located directly below the guide bowl 26. The guide bowl 26 has a bowl-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. When the dough is squeezed into a sheet, it is transported to the cutting component 2. Under the guidance of the guide bowl 26, the two sides of the dumpling wrapper will shrink inward, so that the sheet of dumpling wrapper is conveyed downward in a "U" shape to the first cutting wheel 21. Between the first cutting wheel 21 and the second cutting wheel 22, both the first cutting wheel 21 and the second cutting wheel 22 are hollow rollers that are narrow in the middle and wide on both sides, so that the inside of the dumpling skin is not squeezed and there is space for filling. The dumpling skins on both sides will stick together and overlap under the pressure of the two flanges 23. Since the two flanges 23 are relatively thin, they can form a cutter to cut and separate the excess dumpling skin. The second cutting wheel 22 has a boss 24 extending outward in the axial direction. The cut and separated scraps 5 will be conveyed to the first transport component 3 as the boss 24 rotates, and fall back into the feeding area 4 under the transport of the first transport component 3. This realizes the reuse of scraps 5, avoids resource waste, saves costs, and is hygienic and environmentally friendly. Moreover, the dumpling making process and the recycling of scraps 5 are carried out simultaneously. Timely processing can ensure that the scraps 5 will not deteriorate. In addition, the recycling process is fully automated, which can avoid manual contact, reduce the contamination of food, and make consumers more at ease.
[0025] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the feeding area 4 is provided with two pressing rollers 41. The two pressing rollers 41 can roll relative to each other to convey the dough placed above them along the middle. The pressing rollers 41 are provided with pressing blades 42 directly above them. The pressing blades 42 can move up and down and squeeze the dough, so that the dough can be smoothly discharged from between the two pressing rollers 41 in a sheet shape, avoiding excessive accumulation of dough and scraps 5 in the feeding area 4, which would affect the normal operation of the machine.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, both the first cutting wheel 21 and the second cutting wheel 22 are provided with a rotating shaft 25, and both rotating shafts 25 are provided with gears 251. The two gears 251 are meshed and connected, so that the first cutting wheel 21 and the second cutting wheel 22 can achieve synchronous rotation in opposite directions under the drive of the same driving member. This can ensure that the rotation frequency is the same, reduce the number of parts in the machine, and make the structure simpler. The cut and separated scrap material 5 will fit against the boss 24 and move towards the first transport component 3 as the boss 24 rotates.
[0027] Specifically, a conveying roller 6 is provided between the first transport component 3 and the trimming component 2. Two positioning plates 11 are fixed on the bracket 1. The two positioning plates 11 are provided with slots 111. The conveying roller 6 is located between the two positioning plates 11 and the central axis of the conveying roller 6 is detachably engaged with the two slots 111 respectively, so as to facilitate the removal of the conveying roller 6 at any time for cleaning or replacement. The outer peripheral wall of the conveying roller 6 is provided with a plurality of toothed blocks 61 arranged around the conveying roller 6 to increase the friction between the scrap material 5 and the conveying roller 6.
[0028] Furthermore, one end of the conveying roller 6 is provided with a first annular groove 62, and the same end of the first trimming wheel 21 and the first annular groove 62 is provided with a second annular groove 211. The first annular groove 62 and the second annular groove 211 are together wound with a conveyor belt 63, so that the rotation of the first trimming wheel 21 can drive the rotation of the conveying roller 6, and the rotation direction of the first trimming wheel 21 is consistent with the setting position of the first transport component 3. This can not only give more power to the conveying of the scrap material 5, but also reduce the setting of power components and optimize the internal structure.
[0029] Preferably, since the conveying direction of the first transport component 3 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying roller 6, in order to prevent the scrap material 5 from being stretched, deformed, or shifted due to the change in conveying direction after falling onto the first transport component 3, a guide shaft 7 is provided between the first transport component 3 and the conveying roller 6. The guide shaft 7 is arranged longitudinally and has a limiting and guiding effect on the conveying direction of the scrap material 5, so that the scrap material 5 conveyed from the conveying roller 6 is restricted by the position of the guide shaft 7 to change the conveying direction. The guide shaft 7 can rotate with the transport of the scrap material 5, and the guide shaft 7 has a structure that is narrow in the middle and wide at both sides, which can keep the scrap material 5 in the middle position of the guide shaft 7 and prevent the scrap material 5 from moving out from both ends of the guide shaft 7.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the first transport assembly 3 includes a fixed frame 31, a first conveyor belt 32, transmission wheels 33, and a first drive member 34. The fixed frame 31 is screwed to the support 1. There are two transmission wheels 33, which are respectively located at both ends of the fixed frame 31. The first conveyor belt 32 is wound around the surfaces of the two transmission wheels 33. The first drive member 34 is located in the middle of the first conveyor belt 32 and is fixedly connected to the support 1. Its output shaft 341 abuts against the first conveyor belt 32. Auxiliary wheels 35 are respectively provided on both sides of the output shaft 341. The two auxiliary wheels 35 are connected to the fixed frame 1. The frame 31 is screwed in, and the first conveyor belt 32, in a U-shape, is tightly fitted to the lower end face of the output shaft 341 from the upper end face of the auxiliary wheel 35. This causes the upper and lower end faces of the first conveyor belt 32 to be pressed by the output shaft 341 and the auxiliary wheel 35, respectively, increasing the friction between the first conveyor belt 32 and the output shaft 341. This allows the rotation of the first drive member 34 to directly drive the rotation of the first conveyor belt 32, while the auxiliary wheel 35 and the transmission wheel 33 rotate with the first conveyor belt 32, providing guidance. The scrap material 5 separated from the edge-cutting assembly 2 falls onto the first conveyor belt 32 and moves with its rotation.
[0031] Because dumpling wrappers are lightweight, the first transport component 3 includes a pressure roller 36 to ensure smooth transport. The pressure roller 36 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 31 and positioned at one end of the fixed frame 31 near the feeding area 4. During transport, the scrap material 5 is pressed down by the weight of the pressure roller 36, increasing the friction with the first conveyor belt 32 and allowing it to move synchronously with the first conveyor belt 32. The pressure roller 36 is equipped with a handle 361, allowing users to easily lift the pressure roller 36 to hold down the scrap material 5 during operation, avoiding direct hand contact with the pressure roller 36, reducing bacterial contamination of the dumplings, ensuring the hygiene and safety of dumpling production, and giving consumers greater peace of mind.
[0032] Furthermore, the handle 361 is also provided with a first scraper 362 above the discharge side of the pressure roller 36. The first scraper 362 works in conjunction with the pressure roller 36 and maintains slight contact with the surface of the pressure roller 36, but does not affect the rotation of the pressure roller 36. The first scraper 362 can remove dough residue from the pressure roller 36 during rotation, preventing dough accumulation or sticking, ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the pressure roller 36, and making its rotation more stable. Similarly, a second scraper 321 is provided below the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 32. The second scraper 321 is screwed to the bracket 1 and works in conjunction with the first conveyor belt 32 to scrape off flour or scraps of skin adhering to the first conveyor belt 32, ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the first conveyor belt 32.
[0033] Preferably, the fixing frame 31 is also provided with baffles 311 on both sides, the baffles 311 surround the two sides of the first conveyor belt 32, which can prevent the scrap material 5 from falling off the side during transportation.
[0034] Preferably, such as Figure 7 As shown, in actual production, the positions of the first transport component 3 and the loading area 4 may deviate due to different layouts. Therefore, a second transport component 8 is provided below the discharge end of the first transport component 3. One end of the second transport component 8 corresponds to the discharge end of the first transport component 3, and the other end corresponds to the loading area 4. The loading area 4 is located below the second transport component 8, so that the scrap material 5 falling on the second transport component 8 falls directly into the loading area 4. The second transport component 8 includes a second conveyor belt 81, a drive wheel 82, a driven wheel 83, and a second drive member 84. The second conveyor belt 81 is wound around the surfaces of the drive wheel 82 and the driven wheel 83. The second drive member 84 is fixed on the bracket 1, and its drive shaft is rotatably connected to the drive wheel 82, so that the rotation of the drive wheel 82 drives the second conveyor belt 81 and the driven wheel 83 to rotate synchronously. Since the transport distance of the second transport component 8 is much shorter than that of the first transport component 3, and due to space constraints, the pressure roller 36 cannot be installed on the second transport component 8, a number of racks 811 are arranged sequentially at intervals on the second conveyor belt 81. The racks 811 are arranged to increase the friction between the scrap material 5 and the second conveyor belt 81, so as to realize the smooth transport of the scrap material 5.
[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first driving member 34 and the second driving member 84 are motors.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is explained in detail below: In use, dumpling wrappers are first manually pulled sequentially onto the cutting component 2 and the first transport component 3 to ensure automatic conveying of the dumpling wrappers onto the machine. The working principle is as follows: the dumpling wrappers are cut and separated from the excess scraps 5 by the rolling of the first cutting wheel 21 and the second cutting wheel 22. The separated scraps 5 will adhere to the boss 24 and be conveyed towards the first transport component 3 as the boss 24 rotates. After passing through the conveyor roller 6, the scraps 5 will move along the guide shaft 7 and drive the guide shaft 7 to rotate. At this time, the scraps 5 will move on the first transport component 3 under the pressure of the pressure roller 36 and move with the first conveyor belt 32. Then, the scraps 5 will automatically fall onto the second conveyor belt 81 at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 32 and move with the second conveyor belt 81, finally falling into the loading area 4.
