Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freeze-dried food technology, and in particular to a freeze-dried food uniform twisting device. Background Technology

[0002] Freeze-dried foods retain their original nutrients and appearance due to rapid freezing and vacuum dehydration processes, and are additive-free and hygienic. However, freeze-dried foods have many internal pores and a small amount of moisture can easily remain on the surface. Adjacent freeze-dried food blocks can easily stick together and freeze into clumps of varying sizes, which is not conducive to subsequent weighing and packaging. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a twisting process to separate the freeze-dried food blocks.

[0003] When the existing splitting equipment is working, the freeze-dried food blocks are first poured into the feed hopper in batches. The material is continuously fed into the splitting chamber, which is equipped with a splitting structure such as a rotating toothed disc. The splitting structure is used to knead the material, which can separate the frozen materials.

[0004] However, freeze-dried food blocks have a loose texture and irregular shape. After being fed into the hopper in batches, the materials tend to interlock and stack on the inner wall of the hopper, forming a bridging phenomenon. The bridged materials cannot fall continuously and evenly into the twisting chamber. This makes it easy for the twisting structure to either operate without load or be overloaded, which not only causes wear on structural components but also makes it easy for some materials to be excessively crushed and broken, affecting the uniformity of twisting. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where unstable feeding speed affects the uniformity of twisting, and to propose a uniform twisting device for freeze-dried foods.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a freeze-dried food uniform twisting device, including a shell, a cover threaded onto the upper end of the shell, a feed hopper fixedly installed on the upper end of the cover, a screen fixedly installed inside the shell, a box fixedly installed in the middle of the screen, a motor fixedly installed at the bottom inside the box, an electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor, the piston end of the electric telescopic rod extending to the top of the box and fixedly installed with a pressure plate, and a flexible brush fixedly installed on the lower surface of the pressure plate.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating plate is rotatably arranged on the inner side of the bottom of the feed hopper, and a feeding hole is opened inside the rotating plate. A flexible circular plate is fixedly installed inside the cover, and a discharging hole is opened inside the flexible circular plate. A linkage rod is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the pressure plate, and the upper end of the linkage rod extends through to the top of the rotating plate.

[0009] Preferably, the linkage is a rod with a polygonal cross-section.

[0010] Preferably, a disturbance blade is fixedly installed at the upper end of the linkage rod.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating plate, the flexible circular plate, and the interior of the disturbance blade are all made of food-grade silicone.

[0012] Preferably, a sponge ring is also fixedly installed inside the flexible circular plate, and the sponge ring is sleeved on the outside of the linkage rod.

[0013] The present invention discloses a freeze-dried food uniform twisting device, which has the following advantages: When the freeze-dried food uniform twisting device is working, the rotating agitator blades can prevent the material from bridging in the feed hopper, and the rotating plate can make the feeding hole and the feeding hole intermittently cooperate, allowing the freeze-dried food pieces to fall into the shell in small amounts and intermittently, avoiding the accumulation of material and increasing the twisting burden; the downward movement of the pressure plate can twist the clumps of material through the flexible brush, which can break up the clumps and screen them through the screen, which can effectively ensure that the material is uniformly and fully twisted inside, and it is not easy for any omissions to occur.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-4A freeze-dried food uniformly twisting device includes a housing 1, with a cover 2 threaded onto the upper end of the housing 1. The housing 1 and cover 2 are easily disassembled and reassembled, facilitating cleaning and disinfection of the interior of the housing 1. A feed hopper 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the cover 2, through which freeze-dried food blocks can be fed into the housing 1. A screen 16 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, allowing individual freeze-dried food blocks to fall through the mesh of the screen 16, while stuck freeze-dried food blocks are blocked by the screen 16. A box 14 is fixedly installed in the middle of the screen 16, with a motor 15 fixedly installed at the bottom inside the box 14. An electric telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor 15, enabling the electric telescopic rod 13 to rotate. The piston end of the electric telescopic rod 13 extends above the box 14 and is fixedly installed with a pressure plate 11. Rotation of the electric telescopic rod 13 causes the pressure plate 11 to rotate, and activating the electric telescopic rod 13 causes the pressure plate 11 to move up and down. Since the electric telescopic rod 13 needs to be connected to an external power source, and the motor 15 driving the electric telescopic rod 13 to rotate will affect the connection of the wires, a slip ring is required for dynamic conductivity. The rotor end of the slip ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the electric telescopic rod 13 with bolts, and the stator end of the slip ring is fixed inside the housing 14. The stator end is connected to the external power source through wires. The stator end is sleeved on the outside of the rotor end. The two are in continuous contact through internal carbon brushes, which can transmit power during rotation, avoid wire tangling, and the slip ring is inexpensive and practical. Since the slip ring is existing technology, its internal principle will not be described in detail here.

[0021] After the pressure plate 11 moves down, the distance between it and the screen 16 decreases, ensuring that the freeze-dried food blocks can fall onto the screen 16 without excessive compression. A flexible brush 12 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the pressure plate 11. The flexible brush 12 has a harder base and a softer tip, providing the force for twisting without damaging the food blocks. When the pressure plate 11 rotates, the flexible brush 12 sweeps the freeze-dried food blocks, causing them to fall through the screen 16. Clumps of freeze-dried food blocks are broken up by the sweeping action of the flexible brush 12 and can also fall directly through the screen 16. Because the diameter of the cavity containing the screen 16 is smaller, and the side wall of the shell 1 is sloped, it ensures that the freeze-dried food blocks continuously fall onto the screen 16 and do not accumulate on the outside of the screen 16, preventing them from being twisted.

[0022] A rotating plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the inner bottom of the feeding hopper 3. The rotating plate 4 has a feeding hole 5 inside. A flexible circular plate 6 is fixedly installed inside the cover 2. The flexible circular plate 6 has a discharging hole 11 inside. There are a pair of symmetrically arranged discharging holes 11. When the rotating plate 4 rotates so that the feeding hole 5 aligns with the discharging hole 11, the freeze-dried food blocks inside the feeding hopper 3 will fall into the housing 1 through the holes, allowing a small amount of freeze-dried food blocks to intermittently enter the housing 1. A linkage rod 9 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the pressure plate 11. The upper end of the linkage rod 9 extends through to the top of the rotating plate 4. The linkage rod 9 is a polygonal rod, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the linkage rod 9 is hexagonal. The outer wall of the linkage rod 9 is in conjunction with the rotating plate 4. The rotation of the linkage rod 9 can drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate. However, the rotating plate 4 is restricted by the feed hopper 3 and will not move up and down. Therefore, when the linkage rod 9 moves up and down, it will not drive the rotating plate 4 to move up and down.

[0023] A sponge ring 8 is fixedly installed inside the flexible circular plate 6. The sponge ring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the linkage rod 9. When the linkage rod 9 rotates inside the flexible circular plate 6, it squeezes the sponge ring 8, causing the sponge ring 8 to deform without affecting the rotation of the linkage rod 9. At the same time, the linkage rod 9 can move up and down inside the sponge ring 8 without restriction. A disturbance leaf 10 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the linkage rod 9. The rotation of the linkage rod 9 will drive the disturbance leaf 10 to rotate. The rotation of the disturbance leaf 10 can move the freeze-dried food blocks inside the feed hopper 3 to prevent bridging of the freeze-dried food blocks. The rotating plate 4, the flexible circular plate 6, and the disturbance leaf 10 are all made of food-grade silicone. The soft silicone material can prevent damage to the freeze-dried food blocks.

[0024] Working principle: When this freeze-dried food uniform twisting equipment is working, freeze-dried food blocks are fed into the feed hopper 3. The motor 15 is started, which drives the electric telescopic rod 13 to rotate. The rotation of the electric telescopic rod 13 drives the pressure plate 11 to rotate. The rotation of the pressure plate 11 drives the linkage rod 9 to rotate. The rotation of the linkage rod 9 drives the rotating plate 4 and the agitator 10 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 4 drives the feeding hole 5 to rotate. When the feeding hole 5 rotates, it intermittently matches the discharging hole 7, and a small amount of freeze-dried food blocks will intermittently fall into the housing 1. Without increasing the burden of twisting, the freeze-dried food blocks will slide from the periphery of the pressure plate 11 onto the screen 16. Individual freeze-dried food blocks will fall directly through the screen 16, while clumps of freeze-dried food blocks will remain on the screen 16. Activating the electric telescopic rod 13 will drive the pressure plate 11 to move down. After the pressure plate 11 moves down, it will also rotate. The flexible brush 12 can twist the freeze-dried food blocks, breaking up clumps of freeze-dried food blocks. Finally, the twisted freeze-dried food blocks will fall through the screen 16.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
