Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steamed bun machines, and in particular to a water-cooled circulating steamed bun machine. Background Technology

[0002] A steamed bun machine is a food processing equipment that uses mechanical automation technology to replace the traditional manual production of steamed buns. Through core components such as a dough feeding system, a filling feeding system, and a forming tray, it automatically completes processes such as dough pressing, filling, and bun shaping, efficiently producing steamed buns of uniform size with an adjustable dough-to-filling ratio.

[0003] Chinese patent CN209857483U discloses a cooling device for forming dough tubes in a simulated handmade steamed bun machine. By setting up the cooling device, a large amount of heat generated during the process of the dough conveying auger forming dough tubes in the forming hopper can be carried away by the cold water generated by the cooling device, preventing the dough tubes from drying out and hardening, and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent work.

[0004] In the above solution, the temperature of the forming hopper with cavity is reduced by circulating cooling water. However, suspended matter in the cooling water is easy to adhere to the surface of the forming hopper, and the water flow velocity in the forming hopper is too low to remove the adhered matter. This results in a problem of low efficiency in heat exchange between the heat generated by dough forming and the cold water. Therefore, a water-cooled circulating steamed bun machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-cooled circulating steamed bun machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of low efficiency in heat exchange between the heat generated during dough forming and cold water. The technical solution of this invention provides a solution that is significantly different from the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A water-cooled circulating steamed bun machine includes a dough hopper, inside which are arranged a first auger and a second auger. A discharge pipe is arranged below the dough hopper, and the lower end of the first auger extends into the interior of the discharge pipe. A water-cooling mechanism for reducing the temperature of the discharge pipe is arranged outside the discharge pipe. The water-cooling mechanism includes a water tank, inside which are arranged scrapers. A drive mechanism for driving the discharge pipe to rotate is arranged above the water tank. The drive mechanism includes a motor and a pulley assembly, and the motor and the discharge pipe are connected through the pulley assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the discharge pipe is connected to the hopper via a bearing, the pulley assembly includes a driving pulley and a driven pulley, the driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected by a belt, the motor is connected to the shaft of the driving pulley, and the driven pulley is mounted on the discharge pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the first screw column has a cavity inside, through which the filling enters the discharge pipe, and the rotating first screw column squeezes the dough in the dough hopper into the space between the first screw column and the discharge pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning plate is provided below the flour hopper, and a support rod is provided above the positioning plate. The positioning plate and the flour hopper are connected by the support rod. The discharge pipe passes through the positioning plate, and a sealing ring is provided between the discharge pipe and the positioning plate.

[0010] Preferably, the water tank has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe on its side, a top plate at the top, a sealing ring between the bottom of the water tank and the outlet pipe, and a retaining plate on the inner wall of the water tank.

[0011] Preferably, at least two scrapers are provided, and each scraper has a collar at its upper and lower ends. The two scrapers are connected by the collars, with one end of the scraper fitting against the discharge pipe and the other end of the scraper inserted between the two clamping plates.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses the slow rotation of the first and second augers to push the dough into the space between the first auger and the discharge pipe. The dough and the discharge pipe rub against each other, generating heat and raising the temperature of the discharge pipe. The circulating cooling water in the water tank exchanges heat with the surface of the discharge pipe, thereby reducing the overall temperature of the discharge pipe and preventing the dough from drying out and hardening inside the discharge pipe.

[0013] 2. This utility model improves the efficiency of heat exchange between the circulating cooling water and the surface of the discharge pipe by installing a scraper inside the water tank and fixing the scraper in a fixed position. The motor automatically controls the rotation of the discharge pipe at regular intervals, so that the adhering material on the surface of the discharge pipe is scraped off into the water tank and discharged from the water outlet pipe. This further reduces the overall temperature of the discharge pipe and ensures the taste of the dough after it is formed. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 In this utility model, a water-cooled circulating steamed bun machine includes a dough hopper 1, inside which a first auger 2 and a second auger 3 are arranged. Below the dough hopper 1, a discharge pipe 5 is arranged. The lower end of the first auger 2 extends into the interior of the discharge pipe 5. Outside the discharge pipe 5, a water tank 4 is arranged. Inside the water tank 4, a scraper 8 is arranged. Above the water tank 4, a motor 6 is arranged for driving the discharge pipe 5 to rotate. The motor 6 and the discharge pipe 5 are connected by a pulley assembly.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3In this embodiment of the utility model, a water-cooled circulating steamed bun machine has a cavity inside the first screw column 2. The filling enters the inside of the discharge pipe 5 through the cavity, and the rotating first screw column 2 squeezes the dough in the dough hopper 1 into the space between the first screw column 2 and the discharge pipe 5.

[0021] A positioning plate 7 is provided below the flour hopper 1, and a support rod 701 is provided above the positioning plate 7. The positioning plate 7 is connected to the flour hopper 1 through the support rod 701. The discharge pipe 5 passes through the positioning plate 7, and a sealing ring is provided between the discharge pipe 5 and the positioning plate 7.

[0022] Water tank 4 has an inlet pipe 402 and an outlet pipe 403 on its side. A top plate 401 is provided at the top of water tank 4. The top plate 401 is connected to the positioning plate 7 by screws. A sealing ring is provided between the top plate 401 and the positioning plate 7. A sealing ring is provided between the bottom of water tank 4 and the discharge pipe 5. Cooling water enters the water tank 4 from the inlet pipe 402 and is discharged from the outlet pipe 403.

[0023] After the personnel put the dough into the dough hopper 1, the dough is pushed into the space between the first screw 2 and the discharge pipe 5 by slowly rotating the first screw 2 and the second screw 3. At this time, the dough and the discharge pipe 5 rub against each other and generate heat, and the temperature of the discharge pipe 5 rises. The circulating cooling water in the water tank 4 exchanges heat with the surface of the discharge pipe 5, thereby quickly reducing the overall temperature of the discharge pipe 5 and preventing the dough from drying out and hardening inside the discharge pipe 5.

[0024] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-3 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the upper end of the discharge pipe 5 is connected to the hopper 1 through a bearing, the pulley assembly includes a drive wheel 601 and a driven wheel 602, the drive wheel 601 and the driven wheel 602 are connected by a belt, the motor 6 is connected to the shaft of the drive wheel 601, and the driven wheel 602 is installed on the discharge pipe 5.

[0025] The inner wall of the water tank 4 is provided with a retaining plate 404, and at least two scrapers 8 are provided. Both the upper and lower ends of the two scrapers 8 are provided with collars 801. The two scrapers 8 are connected by collars 801. One end of the scraper 8 is attached to the discharge pipe 5, and the other end of the scraper 8 is inserted between the two retaining plates 404.

[0026] The clamping plate 404 restricts the position of the scraper 8, while the collar 801 presses the scraper 8 into contact with the discharge pipe 5. As cooling water continuously enters the interior of the water tank 4, suspended matter in the cooling water gradually adheres to the surface of the discharge pipe 5. At this time, the motor 6 drives the discharge pipe 5 to rotate, causing the attached matter on the surface of the discharge pipe 5 to be scraped off by the scraper 8 into the interior of the water tank 4 and discharged from the water outlet pipe 403 along with the cooling water. This improves the efficiency of heat exchange between the circulating cooling water and the surface of the discharge pipe 5, further reducing the overall temperature of the discharge pipe 5 and ensuring the texture of the dough after shaping.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The rotating first auger 2 pushes the dough into the space between the first auger 2 and the discharge pipe 5, causing the dough to form. At this time, the dough and the discharge pipe 5 rub against each other, generating heat and raising the temperature of the discharge pipe 5. The circulating cooling water in the water tank 4 exchanges heat with the surface of the discharge pipe 5, thereby rapidly reducing the overall temperature of the discharge pipe 5. As the cooling water continuously enters the interior of the water tank 4, the suspended matter in the cooling water gradually adheres to the surface of the discharge pipe 5. The motor 6 controls the discharge pipe 5 to rotate, causing the attached matter on the surface of the discharge pipe 5 to be scraped off by the scraper 8 into the interior of the water tank 4. This improves the efficiency of heat exchange between the circulating cooling water and the surface of the discharge pipe 5, further reducing the overall temperature of the discharge pipe 5 and ensuring the taste of the dough after it is formed.
