Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of noodle making, and in particular to a noodle pressing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the food industry, the production process of noodle sheets and noodle products such as dried noodles, instant noodles, and sour soup noodles typically involves: mixing flour and water to form dough flakes; feeding these flakes to the first rolling roller of a dough press to form dough sheets; then feeding these sheets sequentially to subsequent rolling rollers to gradually roll them into strips of specified thickness. During this rolling process, the dough sheets become increasingly thinner, and are eventually cut into noodles and other products.

[0003] Noodle pressing equipment typically has only one fixed feeding port. The dough flakes fall directly into the dough pressing rollers from the feeding port, making it impossible to effectively control the feeding speed of the dough flakes into the dough pressing rollers. This results in unstable dough pressing effect and problems such as uneven dough sheet thickness. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to effectively control the feeding speed of dough flakes into the dough pressing mechanism, this application provides a dough pressing machine.

[0005] The dough press machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A dough pressing machine includes a machine body with a receiving box for holding dough flakes mounted on the machine body. Dough pressing mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the receiving box. Two discharge ports are opened at the bottom of the receiving box, each discharge port aligned with a corresponding dough pressing mechanism. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the feeding speed is installed at each discharge port. The adjustment mechanism includes an adjusting roller rotatably connected to the receiving box and pointing inwards. Each adjusting roller is located at a corresponding discharge port. Several paddles are fixedly connected to the periphery of each adjusting roller. A variable-speed motor for driving the rotation of each adjusting roller is installed on the receiving box.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the receiving box is used to hold the dough flakes, and its bottom outlet is aligned with the dough pressing mechanism. When the variable speed motor drives the adjusting roller to rotate, the paddles on the side of the adjusting roller rotate accordingly. During the rotation, the paddles continuously agitate the dough flakes, causing them to fall from the outlet into the dough pressing mechanism. By controlling the speed of the variable speed motor, the rotation speed of the adjusting roller and the paddles can be changed, thereby effectively controlling the feeding speed of the dough flakes into the dough pressing mechanism. The dough pressing machine presses the dough flakes into dough sheets, facilitating subsequent operations.

[0007] Preferably, each of the paddles is an arc-shaped paddle.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the curved blade can more smoothly move the dough flakes, reducing the jamming and blockage of the dough flakes at the discharge port, making the feeding process smoother.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom wall of the receiving box is inclined downwards towards each discharge port.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom wall of the receiving box in the dough press is inclined downwards towards the discharge port, which allows the dough flakes to move more smoothly towards the discharge port under the action of gravity, making it easier to discharge. Combined with the adjustment mechanism, the feeding speed can be better controlled, thereby ensuring the dough pressing effect.

[0011] Preferably, each of the pressing mechanisms includes a pair of pressing rollers rotatably connected to the machine body. The machine body has two openings, each opening being located above the corresponding pair of pressing rollers and communicating with the discharge port. The machine body is equipped with a motor that drives one of the pressing rollers to rotate. Each pressing mechanism is provided with a tamping and feeding mechanism above it for tamping and feeding dough flakes between the pair of pressing rollers.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the dough flakes fall from the discharge port of the receiving box and enter the dough pressing mechanism. A motor drives one of the pressing rollers to rotate, which in turn drives a pair of pressing rollers to rotate and compress the dough flakes. At the same time, a tamping and feeding mechanism tamps and feeds the dough flakes between the pair of pressing rollers, allowing the dough flakes to enter the space between the rollers more fully, improving the efficiency and quality of dough pressing, and achieving effective dough pressing operation. The open opening facilitates observation of the state of the dough flakes entering the space between the pair of pressing rollers.

[0013] Preferably, the tamping and feeding mechanism includes a tamping and feeding plate located between a pair of pressing rollers and arranged vertically, a lifting component is fixedly connected to the machine body, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lifting component, and the tamping and feeding plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting component drives the connecting rod to move up and down, and the connecting rod drives the tamping and feeding plate to move vertically between a pair of pressing rollers, thereby tamping and feeding the dough flakes between a pair of pressing rollers. This reduces the occurrence of dough flake jamming, which affects the formation of continuous dough sheets.

[0015] Preferably, two pairs of guide rods are fixedly connected to the body, each pair of guide rods vertically passing through the corresponding connecting rod and slidably connected to the connecting rod, and each guide rod has an elastic limiting block threadedly connected to its upper end.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod guides the connecting rod, ensuring the stable lifting and lowering of the tamping plate. The elastic limit block can limit the rising height of the connecting rod, reducing the occurrence of excessive rising of the tamping plate, and can also buffer the impact force when the connecting rod rises, and reduce the occurrence of the connecting rod detaching from the guide rod.

[0017] Preferably, a baffle is installed on one side of each of the openings away from the corresponding discharge port.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle can reduce the occurrence of dough flakes splashing out from the edge of the open opening away from the discharge port, ensuring that the dough flakes can smoothly enter between the pressing rollers for pressing.

[0019] Preferably, the baffle is hinged to the machine body and used to cover the open opening, a plug is placed on the machine body, and the baffle overlaps the plug and remains detached from the open opening.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the baffle can be flexibly controlled. When the work is stopped, the baffle can be covered over the opening. When working, the baffle can be removed from the opening by the plug support, making it easy to observe the state of the flour flakes through the opening, while restricting the flour flakes from flying out.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. It can change the rotation speed of the adjusting roller and the paddle, thereby effectively controlling the feeding speed of dough flakes into the dough pressing mechanism; 2. This allows the dough flakes to enter the space between the pressing rollers more fully, improving pressing efficiency and quality; 3. The baffle can reduce the splashing of flour flakes from the edge of the open outlet away from the discharge port. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a dough press machine. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The dough pressing machine includes a body 1, on which a receiving box 2 is fixedly connected. The receiving box 2 has an open upper surface and is made of transparent material. The receiving box 2 is used to receive dough flakes. Dough pressing mechanisms 3 are provided on both sides of the receiving box 2, each located at the lower end of the receiving box 2. Two discharge ports 21 are provided at the bottom of the receiving box 2, each discharge port 21 aligned with a corresponding dough pressing mechanism 3. The inner bottom wall of the receiving box 2 gradually slopes downwards towards each discharge port 21.

[0027] Each dough pressing mechanism 3 includes a pair of dough pressing rollers 31, which are rotatably connected inside the machine body 1. Two openings 11 are provided at the upper end of the machine body 1, each opening 11 aligned with a pair of dough pressing rollers 31. Several grooves are formed on the circumference of each dough pressing roller 31, and a gap exists between the pair of dough pressing rollers 31. Each dough pressing mechanism 3 also includes a mounting motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the machine body 1, with the output shaft of the mounting motor coaxially fixed to one of the dough pressing rollers 31.

[0028] The dough flakes inside the receiving box 2 gradually slide down along the bottom surface of the receiving box 2 towards the discharge port 21, and then slide down along the discharge port 21 between each pair of pressing rollers 31. At the same time, the installation motor is started, so that the pair of pressing rollers 31 can rotate relative to each other, thereby pressing the dough flakes into dough sheets.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to control the feeding speed of the dough at each discharge port 21, an adjustment mechanism 4 is installed at each discharge port 21.

[0030] Each adjusting mechanism 4 includes an adjusting roller 41 and a paddle 42. The adjusting roller 41 is rotatably connected inside the receiving box 2 and located at the corresponding discharge port 21. The adjusting roller 41 is usually cylindrical and can be made of stainless steel, which is sturdy, durable, and rust-resistant. Several paddles 42 are fixedly connected to the periphery of the adjusting roller 41. Each paddle 42 is an arc-shaped piece, which can more effectively agitate the dough flakes and make them fall evenly. Two variable speed motors 43 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the machine body 1. Each variable speed motor 43 corresponds to one adjusting roller 41, and the output shaft of the variable speed motor 43 is coaxially fixed with the adjusting roller 41.

[0031] The material of the paddle 42 can be rubber, which has a certain degree of elasticity and can reduce damage to the cotton fibers, or it can be plastic, which is lightweight and easy to process. The paddle 42 is fixed to the adjusting roller 41 by bolts, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the paddle 42.

[0032] When the variable speed motor 43 drives the adjusting roller 41 to rotate, the paddle 42 rotates accordingly, thus allowing the paddle 42 to evenly distribute the dough flakes. The feeding speed of the dough flakes from the discharge port 21 can be adjusted by regulating the output shaft speed of the variable speed motor 43.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to facilitate the continuous pressing of dough sheets by the pressing mechanism 3, each pressing mechanism 3 is equipped with a tamping and feeding mechanism 5 above it.

[0034] The tamping and feeding mechanism 5 includes a tamping and feeding plate 51. The tamping and feeding plate 51 is located between a pair of pressing rollers 31 and is vertically arranged. The tamping and feeding plate 51 is the same length as the pressing rollers 31 and is inserted into the open opening 11. A lifting component 52 is fixedly connected to the machine body 1, and a connecting rod 53 is fixedly connected to the lifting component 52. The tamping and feeding plate 51 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 53. The lifting component 52 can be a cylinder, whose lifting and lowering are controlled by air pressure, or an electric push rod, driven by electricity.

[0035] When the lifting component 52 is working, it drives the connecting rod 53 to move up and down, which in turn drives the tamping plate 51 to move up and down, tamping the dough flakes between the pressing rollers 31, making the dough flakes more evenly distributed.

[0036] Two pairs of guide rods 54 are fixedly connected to the body 1. Each pair of guide rods 54 corresponds to one connecting rod 53. Each pair of guide rods 54 vertically passes through the corresponding connecting rod 53 and is slidably connected to the connecting rod 53. The upper end of each guide rod 54 is threaded with a cap-shaped elastic limiting block 55. The function of the guide rods 54 is to provide guidance for the movement of the connecting rod 53, ensuring more stable lifting and lowering of the tamping plate 51. The guide rods 54 are cylindrical with smooth surfaces to reduce friction with the connecting rod 53. The elastic limiting block 55 can be a rubber block with a certain degree of elasticity. The elastic limiting block 55 is used to prevent the connecting rod 53 from disengaging from the guide rod 54.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each opening 11 has a baffle 6 hinged to the side wall away from the receiving box 2. The baffle 6 is a transparent plate. The baffle 6 rotates towards the opening 11 and contacts the opening 11, which can block part of the opening 11. The baffle 6 is set at an angle and a plug 7 is placed between the baffle 6 and the machine body 1. The angled baffle 6 overlaps the plug 7, thereby keeping it out of contact with the opening 11.

[0038] Each body 1 is connected to a buckle 8 between itself and each baffle 6. When the baffle 6 contacts the open opening 11, the body 1 and the baffle 6 can be locked together by the buckle 8.

[0039] During the dough pressing process, the baffle 6 disengages from the contact opening 11. At this time, the baffle 6 can limit the dough flakes from splashing out of the opening 11 during the pressing process, thus providing protection. Furthermore, the baffle 6 does not affect the vertical movement of the conveying plate 51. When the dough press stops working, the stopper 7 can be removed, allowing the baffle 6 to be lowered to partially block the opening 11, reducing the occurrence of impurities falling into the dough pressing mechanism 3.

[0040] The implementation principle of a dough press machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The variable speed motor 43 is started, which drives the adjusting roller 41 to rotate, and the paddles 42 on the periphery of the adjusting roller 41 rotate accordingly. The paddles 42 are arc-shaped, which can more effectively agitate the dough flakes during rotation, causing the dough flakes to fall from the discharge port 21 at a uniform speed.

[0041] The falling dough flakes enter the dough pressing mechanism 3 between a pair of pressing rollers 31 through the open port 11. At the same time, the installation motor is started, which drives one of the pressing rollers 31 to rotate. As the two pressing rollers 31 cooperate with each other, they press the dough flakes into dough sheets.

[0042] During the dough pressing process, the tamping and feeding mechanism 5 starts working. The lifting component 52 drives the connecting rod 53 to move up and down, and the connecting rod 53 in turn drives the tamping and feeding plate 51 to move up and down. The tamping and feeding plate 51 is located between a pair of dough pressing rollers 31 and is vertically arranged. During its up and down movement, it tamps and feeds the dough flakes between the dough pressing rollers 31, making the dough flakes more evenly distributed and further improving the quality of the pressed dough.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
