Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food machinery technology, and in particular to a lotus root ball forming equipment for lotus root processing. Background Technology

[0002] Food processing machinery is specialized equipment used for food processing, manufacturing, packaging, storage, and transportation. It operates throughout the entire food supply chain and plays a vital role in ensuring food quality and safety and improving production efficiency. In lotus root ball processing, it primarily achieves automated production from raw lotus root to finished lotus root balls through the coordinated operation of equipment in pretreatment, shaping, and processing stages.

[0003] However, lotus root balls are generally sticky, which means that after the lotus root is processed into balls, a large amount of lotus root sticks to the inside of the lotus root ball forming equipment. However, the hopper of the existing lotus root ball forming equipment is fixed, and one end of the screw motor is also close to the discharge port of the hopper, making it difficult to clean the inside of the hopper. This may affect the quality of the secondary lotus root processing and reduce the practicality of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a lotus root ball forming equipment for lotus root processing.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a lotus root ball forming device for lotus root processing, comprising a main body, a collection trough fixedly connected to the top of the main body, a connecting block fixedly connected to the top of the main body, a spiral motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, a sliding component fixedly connected to the surface of the main body, a hopper provided on the inner wall of the sliding component, a limit groove provided on the inner wall of the hopper, a feeding pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper, and a cutting component fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding pipe;

[0006] The sliding assembly includes a fixed block, the inner wall of which has a sliding groove. A motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the fixed block, and a lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A sliding block is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding block, a clamp is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod, a second sliding block is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw, a second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding block, and a clamp is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod. Limiting rings are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both clamps.

[0007] By using the above technical solution, the output end of the motor is started and drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby causing sliding block one and sliding block two to slide relative to each other. Clamp one and clamp two release their grip on the hopper, making it easier to remove the hopper from the sliding assembly for cleaning, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, two lead screws are provided, and the two lead screws are symmetrically distributed around the fixed block.

[0009] By using the above technical solution, a limiting ring is inserted into the limiting groove to prevent the hopper from sliding down when the screw motor discharges lotus root material, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the surfaces of sliding block one and sliding block two are slidably connected to the inner wall of sliding groove one.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, by setting the second limiting groove, the connecting column driven by the rotating ring slides accordingly when it rotates, so that all the limiting blocks rotate counterclockwise along the inner wall of the second sliding groove via the third sliding block. The edge of the limiting block slides along the edge of the adjacent limiting block, so that all the limiting blocks present a hexagonal opening state of different sizes. Lotus root balls of different sizes can be made according to different needs, thereby improving the practicality of the mechanism.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the limiting ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the cutting assembly includes a fixed ring, a limiting groove 1 is formed on the inner wall of the fixed ring, a sliding groove 2 is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed ring, a sliding block 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 2, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 3, a connecting post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block, a rotating ring is provided on the surface of the fixed ring, a limiting groove 2 is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the rotating ring, a limiting ring 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring, and a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating ring.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the connecting column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 2.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the second limiting ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first limiting groove.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes a sliding assembly. Specifically, by starting a motor, the output end of which drives the lead screw to rotate, causing sliding block one and sliding block two to slide relative to each other. Clamps one and two release their grip on the hopper, facilitating the removal of the hopper from the sliding assembly for cleaning. This also facilitates cleaning of the screw motor's screw. The cleaned sliding assembly is then placed inside the fixed block, with its limiting ring one aligned with the limiting groove. The motor is then started again, causing its output end to rotate the lead screw, causing sliding block one and sliding block two to slide relative to each other. This allows clamps one and two to hold the hopper in place, and the limiting ring one enters the limiting groove, thus improving the device's practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The sliding assembly 5 includes a fixed block 501. A sliding groove 502 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed block 501. A motor 503 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the fixed block 501. A lead screw 504 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 503. A sliding block 505 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 504. A connecting rod 506 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding block 505. A clamp 507 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 506. A sliding block 508 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 504. A connecting rod 509 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding block 508. A clamp 510 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 509. A limit ring 511 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of both the clamp 507 and the clamp 510.

[0030] There are two lead screws 504, which are symmetrically distributed around the fixed block 501.

[0031] The surfaces of sliding block 1 505 and sliding block 2 508 are slidably connected to the inner wall of sliding groove 1 502.

[0032] The surface of the limiting ring 511 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 7.

[0033] The cutting assembly 9 includes a fixed ring 901, a limiting groove 902 is formed on the inner wall of the fixed ring 901, a sliding groove 903 is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed ring 901, a sliding block 904 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 903, a limiting block 905 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 904, a connecting post 906 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block 905, a rotating ring 907 is provided on the surface of the fixed ring 901, a limiting groove 908 is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the rotating ring 907, a limiting ring 909 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 907, and a handle 910 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating ring 907.

[0035] The surface of the second limiting ring 909 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first limiting groove 902.

[0036] The implementation principle of the lotus root ball forming device for lotus root processing in this application embodiment is as follows: During operation, the screw motor 4 and motor 503 are connected to an external power source, and then clean water is poured into the collection tank 2. The lotus root is then first processed into a paste and placed into the hopper 6. The screw motor 4 is then started, causing its output end to rotate. The lotus root paste flows evenly downwards into the feeding pipe 8. As the rotating ring 907 rotates, the connecting column 906 slides accordingly, causing all the limiting blocks 905 to rotate counterclockwise along the inner wall of the sliding groove 903 via the sliding block 3 904. The edges of the limiting blocks 905 slide along the edges of adjacent limiting blocks 905, resulting in all the limiting blocks 905 having hexagonal openings. This allows the lotus root to flow out from the rotating ring 907. When the lotus root reaches a certain length, the rotating ring 907 is rotated in the opposite direction via the handle 910, causing the limiting blocks 905 to slide in the opposite direction via the sliding block 3 904, thus connecting the fixed ring 901 and the rotating ring 907. The hole is closed, cutting off the flowing lotus root mud, which falls into the collection trough 2 under gravity, completing the processing of the lotus root mud into lotus root balls. After the lotus root balls are processed, the motor 503 is started, causing its output end to drive the lead screw 504 to rotate, thereby causing the sliding block 1 505 and sliding block 2 508 to slide relative to each other. The clamps 1 507 and clamp 2 510 release their grip on the hopper 6, making it easier to remove the hopper 6 from the sliding assembly 5 for cleaning, and also facilitating the cleaning of the screw of the screw motor 4. Then, the cleaned sliding assembly 5 is placed inside the fixed block 501, with its limiting ring 1 511 aligned with the limiting groove 7. The motor 503 is then started again, causing its output end to drive the lead screw 504 to rotate, causing the sliding block 1 505 and sliding block 2 508 to slide relative to each other, thereby causing the clamps 1 507 and clamp 2 510 to clamp the hopper 6, and the limiting ring 1 511 to enter the limiting groove 7, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0037] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
