Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular to a noodle wetting and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production process of noodles, steaming is one of the key processes that determines the texture, doneness, and quality of the noodles. The conveying process after steaming directly affects the continuity and stability of subsequent processes such as cooling, cutting, and packaging, and is of great significance to production efficiency and quality control of finished noodles. Currently, in industrial noodle production lines, noodles after steaming are usually transferred by conveyor belts. The hot, wet noodles that have just left the steaming device are laid directly on a stainless steel mesh belt or a food-grade rubber conveyor belt, and then the conveyor belt transports them to the next processing station (such as a cooling device or a drying device).

[0003] However, in actual production, the traditional conveying methods mentioned above generally suffer from the technical problem of noodles easily sticking to the conveyor belt. This problem mainly stems from the following two factors: Firstly, after the noodles are steamed and boiled, the starch inside is fully gelatinized, and a sticky paste-like film forms on the surface. At this time, the overall moisture content of the noodles is relatively high (usually between 65% and 75%), resulting in high surface wetness and significantly enhanced adhesion between the noodles and the conveyor belt. Secondly, existing conveyor belts mostly have smooth surface structures (such as the smooth transition of the mesh edges of ordinary stainless steel mesh belts, and the lack of anti-stick texture on the surface of rubber conveyor belts). When in contact with hot and wet noodles, there is a lack of effective isolation or anti-sticking structures, which further exacerbates the sticking phenomenon.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technical solution that can effectively prevent noodles from sticking to the conveyor belt during the conveying process after steaming and cooking, without affecting the quality of the noodles, and that is compatible with existing production lines, so as to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To reduce the occurrence of noodles sticking to the conveyor belt, this application provides a noodle wetting and drying device.

[0006] The noodle wetting and drying device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A noodle wetting and drying device includes a first support frame mounted at the starting end of a conveyor platform. A mounting box is installed on the first support frame, and a water outlet is provided on the mounting box. A water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet, and the water outlet pipe is arranged along the length direction of the water outlet and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor platform.

A second support frame is mounted at the conveying tail end of the conveyor platform, and a drying assembly for drying the noodles on the conveyor platform is provided on the second support frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, hot water can first be sprayed onto the noodles on the conveyor belt through the water spray pipe on the water outlet pipe to reduce the noodles from sticking to the conveyor belt. Then, after the scalded and moistened noodles move to the drying component, the moistened noodles on the conveyor table can be dried, thus achieving the moistening and drying process of the noodles.

[0008] Optionally, the front end of the water spray pipe is provided with a baffle plate, which is fixedly connected to the mounting box.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the water spray can be blocked and guided, so that the water is sprayed more evenly on the noodles on the conveyor and the splashing of hot water on the noodles can be reduced.

[0010] Optionally, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the water outlet, and the guide plate is fixedly connected to the water outlet.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide plate at the water outlet can guide the water, allowing it to flow more orderly to the water outlet pipe, thereby more effectively wetting the noodles on the conveyor table.

[0012] Optionally, the guide plate is provided with a mounting plate, a plurality of guide ropes are fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with a fastener for fixing the mounting plate to the guide plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, an installation plate with a guide rope is set on the guide plate and fixed by a fastener, which further guides the water, so that the water falls more evenly on the noodles, reduces the splashing of hot water on the noodles, and enhances the wetting effect of the noodles.

[0014] Optionally, the fixing component is configured as a fixing bolt, which is threadedly connected to both the guide plate and the mounting plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate can be firmly fixed to the guide plate with fixing bolts, ensuring the stable installation and use effect of the guide rope.

[0016] Optionally, the air-drying assembly includes a fan mounted on the second support frame, the fan having an air duct installed on it, the air outlet of the air duct facing the conveyor table.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, air can be transmitted to one side of the conveyor platform through the air duct to dry the noodles on the conveyor platform.

[0018] Optionally, the air outlet end of the air guide duct is rotatably connected to an air regulating plate for changing the direction of airflow, and the air guide duct is provided with a driving component for driving the air regulating plate to rotate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the air outlet end of the air duct is rotatably connected to the air regulating plate. With the help of the driving component, the air regulating plate is driven to rotate, which can change the direction of the air force, so that the noodles are dried more evenly and comprehensively, and the drying effect is improved.

[0020] Optionally, the driving component is configured as a drive motor, which is fixedly connected to the air duct, and the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the air duct and is fixedly connected to the air regulating plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the air regulating plate at the air outlet of the air duct, combined with the drive motor, can change the direction of airflow and achieve the drying of noodles at different positions.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Multiple equally spaced water spray pipes on the water outlet pipe can evenly spray water onto the noodles on the conveyor table, avoiding excessive or insufficient water spray in some areas and ensuring the overall quality of the noodles. 2. The air-drying component at the end of the conveyor can dry the noodles, avoiding the influence of environmental factors, making the drying time more stable, and meeting the needs of large-scale production. 3. The automated wetting and drying operations of the equipment improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. Attached Figure Description
