Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of macaroni processing equipment, and in particular relates to a macaroni forming device. Background Technology
[0002] Macaroni is made by grinding wheat, barley, highland barley, peas and other crops into powder, adding water in the appropriate proportion to the powder and mixing it into a dough, and then extruding it through an extrusion mold.
[0003] The existing macaroni forming device extrudes macaroni and cuts it with a cutter. A ring conveyor assembly is set below the falling end of the macaroni. Multiple collection frames are arranged in a circular structure on the ring conveyor assembly. The cut macaroni falls into the collection frames below. Then, the collection frames are conveyed by the ring conveyor assembly to the elevator, which then conveys the macaroni to the drying equipment for drying.
[0004] During this process, the cut edges of the macaroni have a higher moisture content. Some of the macaroni that falls into the collection box may stick to other macaroni at the cut edges, thus affecting the drying effect and making it difficult to store. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a macaroni forming device that promptly dries the formed macaroni, preventing sticking at the cut edges and improving the drying effect of the macaroni.
[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following solution is proposed: A pasta forming device includes a mixer with an extrusion die at its output end. The output end of the extrusion die has evenly distributed discharge holes. A cutter is coaxially rotatably mounted at the center of the extrusion die. A drying assembly is located below the discharge end of the extrusion die. The drying assembly includes a drying tunnel. The length direction of the drying tunnel is perpendicular to the axial direction of the extrusion die. A feed inlet is provided on the drying tunnel. A dryer is located at one end of the drying tunnel, with its output end facing the conveying direction of the drying tunnel. Baffles are arranged in an array along the length direction of the drying tunnel. The lower ends of the baffles are inclined towards the output direction of the drying tunnel, and a stop bar is provided at the lower end of the baffles. The lower end of the stop bar is tangent to the conveying direction of the bottom surface of the inner wall of the drying tunnel.
[0007] Furthermore, a U-shaped plate is provided below the output end of the extrusion die, and the horizontal part of the U-shaped plate is inclined towards the direction of the feed port.
[0008] Furthermore, a side panel is provided on one side of the feed inlet, with the opening of the side panel facing the lower end of the U-shaped plate in the inclined direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the baffles are evenly distributed with through holes, and the baffles on adjacent baffles are staggered.
[0010] Furthermore, the output end of the dryer is equipped with a rectangular box, and the side of the rectangular box facing the baffle is equipped with a diffuser plate, with air outlet holes evenly distributed on the diffuser plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the projection of the feed inlet onto the drying tunnel falls between the air diffuser and a baffle plate near the air diffuser.
[0012] Furthermore, a sealing end plate is provided at one end of the drying tunnel, and one side of the sealing end plate is hinged to the drying tunnel.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A dryer is installed at the lower end of the extrusion die discharge end so that the macaroni formed at the extrusion die discharge end falls directly into the drying tunnel. During the falling process, the macaroni is dried by the hot air blown out by the dryer along the drying tunnel, thereby accelerating the evaporation of moisture at the cut end of the macaroni, thus preventing the macaroni from sticking together, improving the drying effect, and making it easier to preserve the macaroni.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in the present utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a macaroni forming device, including a mixer 10 and a drying component 20, which is used to pre-dry the formed macaroni to avoid the macaroni cutting edges sticking together and affecting the subsequent drying efficiency.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a feed hopper is provided above one end of the mixer 10 for feeding water, agricultural powder, and auxiliary materials into the mixer 10. The other end of the mixer 10 is the output end, which is equipped with an extrusion die 11. The extrusion die 11 has a cylindrical structure, and discharge holes 12 are evenly distributed on the end of the extrusion die 11 away from the mixer 10. The cross-section of the discharge holes 12 is annular, thereby shaping the mixed agricultural powder into macaroni. A rotating shaft is coaxially provided on the end of the extrusion die 11 with the discharge holes 12. A cutter 13 is provided on the rotating shaft. The cutter 13 is arranged radially along the extrusion die 11 and is used to cut the extruded macaroni. The length of the macaroni is controlled by the rotation speed of the rotating shaft. This is prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0023] A U-shaped plate 111 is provided below the output end of the extrusion die 11. The two side arms of the U-shaped plate 111 are parallel to the output end of the extrusion die 11. One side arm of the U-shaped plate 111 has an arc-shaped opening. The curvature of the arc-shaped opening is adapted to the outer diameter of the extrusion die 11. The lower surface of the extrusion die 11 is embedded in one side arm of the U-shaped plate 111. The horizontal part of the U-shaped plate 111 is inclined downwards, with the inclination direction facing the conveying direction of the drying assembly 20. This allows the macaroni falling from the discharge hole 12 to slide out along the bottom surface of the U-shaped plate 111, thereby changing the sliding direction of the macaroni and preventing the macaroni from overlapping when it falls to the bottom surface of the U-shaped plate 111. This allows the macaroni to slide into the drying assembly 20 in sequence.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the drying assembly 20 includes a drying tunnel 21, a dryer 22, and a baffle 23. The drying tunnel 21 is arranged along the axis perpendicular to the extrusion die 11 to prevent heat from entering the extrusion die 11 and affecting the moisture content of the dough in the extrusion die 11, thereby affecting the macaroni forming. A conveyor belt is laid on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the drying tunnel 21 for outputting the formed macaroni.
[0025] The upper end of the drying tunnel 21 is provided with a feed inlet 211, and the lower end of the feed inlet 211 is in the inclined direction of the U-shaped plate 111 so that the formed macaroni falls into the drying tunnel 21 along the feed inlet 211.
[0026] The dryer 22 is located at one end of the drying tunnel 21, and the air outlet of the dryer 22 faces the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. It is used to pre-dry the macaroni entering the drying tunnel 21, so that the moisture at the cut ends can be quickly evaporated during the falling process, avoiding the macaroni cut ends from sticking together, thereby improving the drying effect of the macaroni and preventing the macaroni that is not thoroughly dried from becoming moldy and affecting its edibility.
[0027] Multiple baffles 23 are arranged in an array along the length of the drying tunnel 21 to block the hot air blown out by the dryer 22, thereby reducing heat loss. The upper end of the baffle 23 is inclined to the inner wall of the upper end of the drying tunnel 21, and the lower end of the baffle 23 is inclined downward in the conveyor belt conveying direction, so that the heat rays blocked by the baffle 23 are reflected onto the conveyor belt, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the macaroni.
[0028] Preferably, the baffle 23 is provided with through holes to avoid excessive heat between the feed inlet 211 and the dryer 22, which would affect the moisture content of the dough in the extrusion die 11. The through holes on adjacent baffles 23 are staggered to extend the path of heat in the drying tunnel, thereby extending the heat residence time.
[0029] More preferably, baffles 231 are arranged in an array at the lower end of the baffles 23. The lower end of the baffles 231 is tangent to the top surface of the conveyor belt, and the baffles 231 on adjacent baffles 23 are staggered so that the baffles 231 can move the macaroni passing through, thereby further improving the drying efficiency at the cut of the macaroni, avoiding the macaroni from sticking, and thus improving the quality of the macaroni.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment, the output end of the dryer 22 is provided with a rectangular box 221, and the side of the rectangular box 221 facing the baffle 23 is provided with a diffuser plate 222. The diffuser plate 222 is evenly distributed with air outlet holes to expand the air outlet area of the dryer 22, so that the macaroni is evenly covered by the hot air blown out by the dryer 22.
[0031] Preferably, a sealing end plate 213 is provided at one end of the drying tunnel 21 where the dryer 22 is installed. One side of the sealing end plate 213 is hinged to the drying tunnel 21 to facilitate inspection and maintenance of the dryer 22.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not imply its uniqueness or limitation. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions made to this utility model without departing from its scope are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
