Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dough mixer technology, and in particular to a horizontal dough mixer. Background Technology

[0002] A dough mixer is a device that uses mechanical force to mix and knead flour, water, and other ingredients into a uniform dough. It effectively replaces traditional hand kneading and significantly improves the efficiency and quality of pasta production. Among them, horizontal dough mixers are widely used due to their advantages such as large single-processing capacity, simple structure, and ease of maintenance.

[0003] However, the current horizontal dough mixer still has some inconveniences. For example, the hopper can only be placed vertically or flipped flat, and the adjustable angle range is small. When it is flat, the staff still needs to pull the dough to feed it, which is quite cumbersome. In addition, because horizontal dough mixers occupy a large area, workers usually have to walk around the side of the machine to fully open the lid, which is inconvenient and therefore needs to be improved.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a horizontal dough mixer includes a base 11. The upper side of the base 11 is provided with a forward-through mounting cavity 12. The mounting cavity 12 is equipped with a hopper 13. The hopper 13 is provided with a material trough for holding flour for mixing and kneading. A drive shaft 14 that runs horizontally through the hopper 13 is also rotatably connected to the mounting cavity 12. A C-shaped rod 15 for kneading is fixed on the drive shaft 14 located in the hopper 13. The base 11 is also provided with a drive system for controlling the rotation of the drive shaft 14.

[0020] When the drive system drives the drive shaft 14 to rotate, it will drive the flour and water in the feed trough to stir through the C-shaped rod 15, thereby performing the dough kneading work. The drive system can be a motor with a reduction mechanism, which is a conventional setting in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] The hopper 13 is rotatably mounted and can rotate and tilt forward to discharge materials. It also includes a positioning mechanism for locking the angle of the hopper 13.

[0022] Specifically, the positioning mechanism includes a rubber pad fixed to the rear side of the mounting cavity 12. Two locking pins 16 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the mounting cavity 12, respectively. When the hopper 13 is clamped between the upper locking pin 16 and the rubber pad, the material channel inside it faces upward to facilitate stirring and kneading. When the hopper 13 abuts against the lower locking pin 16, the material channel inside it faces forward, allowing the dough to be removed.

[0023] Furthermore, an inclined surface 17 is provided at the leading edge of the lower side of the mounting cavity 12. When the front side of the hopper 13 is attached to the inclined surface 17, it is easier to remove the dough.

[0024] The locking pin 16 is installed in such a way that four sliding grooves are arranged on the front side of the base 11, and sliding plates 18 extending to the front side of the base 11 are slidably connected in the sliding grooves. The four locking pins 16 are respectively connected to the four sliding plates 18, and the operator can control the extension and retraction of the locking pins 16 through the sliding plates 18.

[0025] In addition, to prevent the hopper 13 from impacting the inclined surface 17 or the two locking pins 16 on the lower side when it tilts, the inclined surface 17 is provided with a mounting hole, and a damper is installed in the mounting hole. The upper end of the piston rod in the damper is hinged to the top plate 19. When the hopper 13 tilts forward, the front wall of the hopper 13 will first contact the top plate 19 and be buffered, and then contact the locking pins 16 or the inclined surface 17, so as to avoid rigid collision, reduce noise, and extend service life. The damper also has an automatic reset function. When the hopper 13 returns to the vertical position, the piston rod will automatically pop out and reset.

[0026] In addition, a cover plate 21 is hinged to the upper side of the machine base 11. The cover plate 21 has a cover groove 22 in the side to cover the outside of the hopper 13 and close the material groove inside the hopper 13, so as to prevent foreign objects from falling in during the dough kneading process.

[0027] To facilitate angle locking of the cover plate 21, a protruding plate 23 is provided on the back of the cover plate 21, and a rod 24 is slidably connected in the protruding plate 23. A mounting groove is provided on the back of the base 11, and a positioning plate 26 is fixed in the mounting groove. The positioning plate 26 has a positioning hole for accommodating the rod 24. In addition, the rear end of the protruding plate 23 and its upper side are chamfered to form an abutment surface 51 that can be attached to the positioning plate 26. To facilitate the operator to control the angle of the cover plate 21, a gripping ball 25 is provided at the front end of the rod 24.

[0028] With the above settings, the cover plate 21 has two locking angles. One is that when the insertion rod 24 is inserted into the positioning hole, the cover plate 21 and the upper end face of the hopper 13 form an acute angle. The operator can lock the cover plate 21 at this angle by standing in front of the machine base 11 without having to move to the side of the machine base 11, which is more convenient. The other is that the abutting surface 51 abuts against the positioning plate 26. At this time, the cover plate 21 and the upper end face of the hopper 13 form an obtuse angle. In this state, the hopper 13 is fully open, which makes it easy for the operator to pour flour or add water into it.

[0029] It should be noted that the method of rotating the hopper 13 and having its rotation axis coaxial with the drive shaft 14, the specific structure of the reduction mechanism, the control method of the motor, and the limiting method of the top plate 19 and the insertion rod 24 are all conventional settings in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Specific working methods: First, when the hopper 13 is in the upright position, the hopper 13 is attached to the rubber pad. Then, the worker can push the two upper sliding plates 18 inward so that the two upper locking pins 16 are attached to the front wall of the hopper 13. At this time, the hopper 13 is locked at the angle. Then, the worker opens the cover plate 21 to the maximum angle to facilitate the feeding of flour and water. After feeding is completed, the worker puts the cover plate 21 on the hopper 13, and at this time, the drive shaft 14 and the C-shaped rod 15 rotate to perform the dough kneading work.

[0031] After the dough is kneaded, the worker can use the slide plate 18 to retract the two upper locking pins 16 and push out the lower locking pins 16. At this time, the hopper 13 can rotate 90° to attach to the lower locking pins 16 so that the worker can remove the dough from the hopper 13. Alternatively, the operator can place a transfer basin in the area in front of the machine base 11 and then retract all the locking pins 16. At this time, the hopper 13 can tilt at an angle greater than 90° and adhere to the inclined surface 17, so that the dough inside can fall into the transfer basin more conveniently.

[0032] It should be noted that when the C-shaped rod 15 is used for kneading, if it is necessary to add auxiliary materials into the hopper 13 or adjust the water ratio, the operator can swing the cover plate 21 by using the holding ball 25. After the cover plate 21 is adjusted to the correct angle, the insertion rod 24 is inserted into the positioning hole. During this process, since the cover plate 21 is in an acute angle state, the operator only needs to stand in front of the machine base 11 to complete the angle adjustment of the cover plate 21, which is quite convenient.

[0033] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the technical features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the patent scope of the present utility model.
