Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bread processing equipment, specifically relating to a shaping and processing machine for automated bread production. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing technology, most shaping machines on the market can only adjust the thickness and gluten content of the dough sheet, and can shape thicker dough sheets or dough into sheets of uniform thickness. They are suitable for shaping under normal circumstances. However, with the development of the industry, bread styles have become more diverse. Among them, irregularly shaped breads such as carrot or olive shapes are widely popular among consumers. However, the existing bread shaping machines cannot meet the shaping process of automated continuous production lines for carrot or olive shaped bread dough. In actual production, it is necessary to shape the dough sheet into a sheet of uniform thickness using a thickness shaping machine, and then manually roll and shape the dough sheet into carrot or olive shapes. This involves a large amount of manual labor, and the bread dough produced is of inconsistent size and has low uniformity, making it difficult to achieve automated continuous production. Therefore, this application provides a shaping machine suitable for the automated production of carrot or olive shaped bread. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shaping machine for automated bread production in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. It aims to solve the technical problem that conventional dough sheet shaping machines cannot meet the production needs of automated continuous production lines for irregularly shaped breads such as carrot or olive shapes.
[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions: A shaping machine for automated bread production includes a flat belt conveyor and a dough sheet winding and shaping structure located above it and moving in the opposite direction to the conveying motion of the flat belt conveyor. The dough sheet winding and shaping structure includes a fixed frame, a roller group on the fixed frame, a pulley group on the roller group, a belt group between the pulley groups, and a limiting component on the fixed frame. The roller group and pulley group are used to adjust the distribution shape and tension of the belt group in contact with the dough sheet to wind and extrude the dough sheet into the target shape; the limiting component is used to limit each dough sheet within the corresponding processing area during the winding and extrusion process.
[0005] As a further optimization of this utility model, the sheet winding and shaping structure also includes a driving component. The roller group includes an active roller and a driven roller distributed above and rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and two shaping driven shafts distributed below and rotatably connected to the fixed frame. The driving component is connected to the active roller. The pulley assembly includes a drive belt shaft with the same diameter mounted on the drive roller, several driven belt shafts with varying diameters mounted on the driven roller, and several shaping belt shafts with varying diameters mounted on the shaping driven shaft. The shaping belt shafts on the two shaping driven shafts correspond one-to-one and have the same diameter change direction for winding and pressing the sheet into the target shape. The driven belt shafts on the driven roller and the shaping belt shafts on the shaping driven shaft correspond one-to-one and have opposite diameter changes for adjusting the distribution shape and tension of the belt assembly.
[0006] As a further optimization of this utility model, the target shape is a carrot shape that is thick at one end and thin at the other, or an olive shape that is thin at both ends and thick in the middle. The shape of the shaping belt shaft is consistent with the target shape, which is a carrot shape that is thick at one end and thin at the other, or an olive shape that is thin at both ends and thick in the middle.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, two adjacent shaping belt shafts on the same shaping driven shaft are arranged symmetrically to each other.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the limiting component includes several sets of baffles on the fixed frame. The baffles include two symmetrically arranged fixed baffles and two adjustable baffles that are detachably connected to the fixed baffles and used to adjust the distance between the fixed baffles and the flat belt conveyor. The two shaping belt shafts on the two shaping driven shafts are located between the two fixed baffles.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the fixed frame is provided with an adjustment groove one for adjusting the position of the driven roller laterally, and an adjustment groove two for adjusting the position of the shaping driven shaft vertically.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, a number of connecting rods are provided between the fixing frames.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the flat belt conveyor is provided with a frame at the bottom.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1) This utility model can roll and extrude dough sheets into carrot shapes (thick at one end and thin at the other) or olive shapes (thin at both ends and thick in the middle) by using a flat belt conveyor and a dough sheet winding and shaping structure that moves in the opposite direction to the flat belt conveyor. This can meet the production needs of breads of different shapes, improve market competitiveness, automate production, replace a large amount of manual labor, improve production efficiency, and is very convenient to use. 2) During the rolling and extrusion shaping process of bread dough, this utility model prevents the dough from becoming too long by using the shielding and protection functions of the fixed baffle and the adjustable baffle. After the shaping process is completed, the size and shape of the bread dough can be kept highly consistent, and the regularity of the bread dough is high. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a shaping machine for automated bread production includes a flat belt conveyor 2 and a dough sheet winding and shaping structure located above it and moving in the opposite direction to the conveying motion of the flat belt conveyor 2. The dough sheet winding and shaping structure includes a fixed frame 3, a roller group located on the fixed frame 3, a pulley group located on the roller group, a belt group 10 located between the pulley groups, and a limiting component located on the fixed frame 3. The roller assembly and pulley assembly are used to adjust the distribution shape and tension of the belt assembly 10 in contact with the dough sheet to wind and extrude the dough sheet into the target shape; the limiting assembly is used to limit each dough sheet within the corresponding processing area during the winding and extrusion process.
[0021] It should be noted that the belt assembly 10 is composed of multiple belts.
[0022] Preferably, the sheet winding and shaping structure further includes a drive member 11, and the roller group includes an active roller 4 and a driven roller 6 distributed above and rotatably connected to the fixed frame 3, and two shaping driven shafts 8 distributed below and rotatably connected to the fixed frame 3. The drive member 11 is connected to the active roller 4. The pulley assembly includes a drive belt shaft 5 with the same diameter mounted on the drive roller 4, several driven belt shafts 7 with varying diameters mounted on the driven rollers 6, and several shaping belt shafts 9 with varying diameters mounted on the shaping driven shafts 8. The shaping belt shafts 9 on the two shaping driven shafts 8 correspond one-to-one and have the same diameter change direction for winding and pressing the sheet to the target shape. The driven belt shafts 7 on the driven rollers 6 correspond one-to-one with the shaping belt shafts 9 on the shaping driven shafts 8 and have opposite diameter changes for adjusting the distribution shape of the belt assembly 10.
[0023] It should be noted that the drive component 11 includes, but is not limited to, a servo motor, as well as an integral structure composed of a servo motor and a reduction gear, an electric rotary motor, etc.
[0024] Preferably, the target shape is a carrot shape that is thick at one end and thin at the other, or an olive shape that is thin at both ends and thick in the middle. The shape of the shaping belt shaft 9 is consistent with the target shape, which is a carrot shape that is thick at one end and thin at the other, or an olive shape that is thin at both ends and thick in the middle.
[0025] Preferably, two adjacent shaping belt shafts 9 on the same shaping driven shaft 8 are arranged symmetrically to each other.
[0026] In actual use, adjust the driven roller 6 and the shaping driven shaft 8 to the appropriate position. First, adjust the tension of the belt group 10. Second, ensure that the flat belt conveyor 2 and the belt group 10 can roll up and squeeze the dough into a carrot shape that is thick at one end and thin at the other, or an olive shape that is thin at both ends and thick in the middle during the opposite transmission process. During processing, the dough sheet is conveyed by a flat belt conveyor 2. The conveying direction of the belt assembly 10 is opposite to that of the flat belt conveyor 2. The flat belt conveyor 2 and the belt assembly 10 are adjusted to a suitable relative speed. The drive roller 4 and the drive belt shaft 5 are driven to rotate by the drive component 11. The belt assembly 10 drives the driven roller 6, the driven belt shaft 7, the shaping driven shaft 8, and the shaping belt shaft 9 to rotate together. When the dough sheet reaches the shaping belt shaft 9 on one side, the belt assembly 10 will roll up the starting end of the dough sheet, making the dough sheet roll into a carrot shape that is thick at one end and thin at the other end, or an olive shape that is thin at both ends and thick in the middle. During the winding and extrusion shaping process, the fixed baffle 12 and the adjusting baffle 13 provide protection and prevent the dough sheet from becoming too long. After the shaping process is completed, the neat bread dough will be conveyed out from the shaping belt shaft 9 on the other side. The size and shape of the bread dough can be kept highly consistent, which is efficient and easy to operate.
[0027] Preferably, the limiting component includes several sets of baffles mounted on the fixed frame 3. The baffles include two symmetrically arranged fixed baffles 12 and two adjustable baffles 13 that are detachably connected to the fixed baffles 12 and used to adjust the distance between the fixed baffles 12 and the flat belt conveyor 2. Two shaping belt shafts 9 corresponding to each other on the two shaping driven shafts 8 are located between the two fixed baffles 12. By limiting the size and shape of the processed carrot / olive-shaped bread blanks through the fixed baffles 12 and the adjustable baffles 13, the size and shape of the processed bread blanks can be highly consistent, which reduces the burden on a large number of workers, improves processing efficiency, and ensures that the bread blanks have high regularity and high uniformity.
[0028] It should be noted that the fixed baffle 12 has a through hole for the shaping driven shaft 8 to pass through.
[0029] Preferably, the fixed frame 3 is provided with an adjustment groove 14 for horizontal adjustment of the position of the driven roller 6, and an adjustment groove 15 for vertical adjustment of the position of the shaping driven shaft 8; in this embodiment, the fixed frame 3 is provided with a fixed seat, and a mounting seat is detachably connected to the fixed seat. The driven roller 6 / shaping driven shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat through a bearing, which facilitates the adjustment of the positions of the driven roller 6 and the shaping driven shaft 8, thereby adjusting the positions of the driven belt shaft 7 and the shaping belt shaft 9; By adjusting the position of the driven roller 6, the tension of the belt assembly 10 can be adjusted, so that the belt assembly 10 is not easy to loosen during the conveying process; By adjusting the positions of the two shaping driven shafts 8, the tension of the belt assembly 10 can be adjusted, so that the belt assembly 10 is not easy to loosen during the conveying process. It can also make the two shaping driven shafts 8 have a height difference to accommodate the conveying of the dough after it is wound. That is, the dough is fed in from the lower side, and after being wound, squeezed and shaped into a carrot or olive shape, its thickness increases, and then it is conveyed out from the higher side.
[0030] Preferably, a number of connecting rods 16 are provided between the fixed frames 3 to connect the two symmetrically arranged frames of the fixed frame 3, thereby increasing stability.
[0031] Preferably, the flat belt conveyor 2 is provided with a frame 1 at the bottom and a fixing frame 3 is provided at the top of the frame 1, that is, the flat belt conveyor 2 and the fixing frame 3 are supported and fixed by the frame 1.
[0032] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
