Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically a meatball production device. Background Technology

[0002] Fried meatballs are a common delicacy in Chinese culinary culture. They can be eaten directly or used as an ingredient in stews, hot pots, meatball soups, and other dishes. The general method for making fried meatballs is as follows: wheat flour is mixed with chopped vegetables, meat, seasonings, and water to form a paste. This paste is then squeezed into balls by hand and transferred to a frying pan using a spoon. Once cooked, they are removed from the oil. Alternatively, millet flour can be used to make a paste for frying. Different pastes result in different types of meatballs. After packaging, fried meatballs can be sold refrigerated in large supermarkets and food stores, or sold retail refrigerated. However, due to the time-consuming and laborious process of making fried meatballs at home, coupled with changing lifestyles, people often prefer to buy mass-produced fried meatballs.

[0003] Currently, there are two main production processes for mass-produced fried meatballs. One is primarily manual, which is inefficient and labor-intensive, failing to meet the requirements of large-scale modern food production. Furthermore, during the frying process, workers are constantly near the high-temperature oil, resulting in a poor working environment, and the constant feeding of dough balls into the oil poses a risk of injury from splattering oil. Existing meatball production equipment suffers from low automation levels and a high reliance on manual labor, leading to unsatisfactory overall production efficiency and automation rates. Some equipment also has complex structures and low cost-effectiveness. Significantly improving the automation rate of meatball production equipment, simplifying equipment structure, increasing productivity, reducing manual labor, increasing output per unit time, and streamlining the production process are pressing technical challenges in this field.

[0019] At least one frying unit 4 is arranged along the length of the translation track 3. The frying unit 4 includes a frying chamber 41 and a heating component 42. The frying chamber 41 of the frying unit 4 is an open pool shape. The frying unit 4 may also be provided with an oil drain port 43. The frying unit 4 is also provided with a ball pressing grate 44 corresponding to the shape of the frying chamber 41, which is used to press down the balls so that the balls are completely submerged in the oil when frying the balls.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the pressure box 17 is rectangular, with its side outlets 171 arranged in a straight strip. Further, the pressure box 17 may have outlets 171 arranged in a strip on both sides, and each side of the pressure box 17 is provided with a cutting head 22. Each cutting head 22 is provided with a cutting shaft 221, a cutting cantilever 222, and cutting wires 223. Further, each cutting head 22 has one cutting shaft 221, with two cutting cantilever 222s at each end. The cutting wires 223 are installed between the cutting cantilever 222s. Each cutting head has two cutting wires 223, parallel to the cutting shaft 221, and positioned on both sides of the cutting shaft 221. Furthermore, bearings 26 are provided at both ends of the cutting shaft 221. One end of one cutting shaft 221 is driven by the cutting motor 21. Two force transmission shafts 24 are provided between the two cutting shafts 221. Each cutting shaft 221 is connected to one force transmission shaft 24 via a sprocket and chain. Specifically, both the cutting shaft 221 and the force transmission shaft 24 are equipped with sprockets, and then a chain 23 is fitted onto the cutting shaft 221 and the force transmission shaft 24 to achieve the mechanical transmission between them. Each of the power transmission shafts 24 is equipped with gears 25, which mesh with each other. The cutting motor 21 drives one cutting shaft 221 to rotate. This cutting shaft 221 drives another power transmission shaft 24 via a sprocket and chain. This power transmission shaft 24 then drives another power transmission shaft 24 via gears 25. The other power transmission shaft 24 then drives another cutting shaft 221 via a sprocket and chain, thus achieving synchronous rotation of the two cutting shafts 221 and their associated cutting cantilever 222 and cutting wire 223. The cutting motor 21 can be housed within the cutting power box 28.

[0021] The aforementioned pressure box 17 can be installed on the platform base beam 27, which has platform wing plates 271 at both ends. The bearing 26 can be placed on the platform base beam 27 and the platform wing plates 271. The cutting shaft 221 and the force transmission shaft 24 can be fixed by bearings 26 at different positions. The platform base beam 27 and the platform wing plates 271 are connected to the cutting power box 28 at one end to form the main frame of the traveling platform. The traveling platform can move on the translation track 4 via rollers 29. A control box 6 can also be provided on the traveling platform. The control box 6 contains the power and switch for the pressure system 1 and the cutting system 2.

[0022] The pressing power device can be a pressing motor 16, and the pressing transmission device includes a pressing screw 11 and a pressing force transmission carriage 14. The pressing motor 16 and the pressing screw 11 are placed inside the pressing power chamber 19. One end of the pressing screw 11 is connected to the pressing motor 16, and the moving part 12 on the pressing screw 11 is connected to the pressing force transmission carriage 14. The pressing force transmission carriage 14 is provided with pressing force transmission rollers 143 and is movably placed on the pressing track 18. The pressing track 18 is located on the side wall of the pressing power chamber 19. The outer side of the pressing force transmission carriage 14 is placed outside the pressing power chamber 19 and connected to the pressing head 15. Specifically, the pressing force transmission carriage 14 includes a pressing force transmission carriage frame 141; pressing force transmission rollers 143 on the pressing force transmission carriage frame 141 are engaged at the pressing track 18 and move up and down; the pressing force transmission connecting rod 142 on the pressing force transmission carriage frame 141 is connected to the moving part 12 on the pressing screw 11; a pressing force transmission crossbar 143 is also connected to the pressing force transmission connecting rod 142; the up and down movement of the pressing force transmission crossbar 143 triggers the limit switch 13, thereby controlling the stroke of the pressing screw 11 and the pressing head 15. The screw fixing seat 112 can be installed on the pressing screw fixing plate 111 or directly on the side wall of the pressing power chamber 19, depending on the situation; the limit switch 13 can be installed on the limit switch fixing plate 131 or the side wall of the pressing power chamber 19. Figure 7 The limit switch fixing plate and the pressure screw fixing plate are omitted in the figure; the two limit switches 13 are shown floating in the figure. Since the transmission structure of the screw system in the prior art is not unique (the linearly moving component may be a screw or a nut), the moving part 12 can be the linearly moving nut or the screw itself, which drives the pressure transmission carriage 14 and the pressure head 15 to move linearly. The various components of the screw system described above, such as the pressure screw 11, nut, screw fixing seat 112, and matching couplings, as well as the installation and assembly methods of each component, are all prior art and will not be detailed here.

[0023] Preferably, the pressing head 15 includes a pressing rod 151 and a pressing plate 152. The pressing plate 152 is placed at the lower end of the pressing rod 151. The pressing plate 152 corresponds to the opening shape of the pressing box 17. The pressing rod 151 is hinged to the outside of the pressing transmission vehicle 14. When the pressing plate 152 of the pressing head 15 moves upward out of the pressing box 17, the pressing head 15 can rotate upward, and the pressing rod 151 is locked at the fixing hook 153 on the side wall of the pressing power chamber 19.

[0024] The aforementioned device may further include a cooling system 5, which includes an aerodynamic device 51 and an air supply duct 52. The air supply duct 52 is connected to the pressing system 1 and the cutting system 2, respectively. An air filter membrane 53 is provided at the air inlet of the aerodynamic device 51. The number of frying units 4 can be determined according to actual production and working conditions. For example, a preferred option is to select more than 3 units.

[0025] The structural design of the pressing power unit and pressing transmission unit in the pressing system 1 described above is not unique. For example, the pressing power unit can adopt conventional technologies such as pressing motors or hydraulic systems, and the pressing transmission unit can adopt various existing technologies such as lead screws, gear racks, and linear motors. In the specific transmission process, belts, synchronous belts, gears, chain gearboxes, and other components can also be selected. These are well-known technologies in the field and will not be described in detail here. The transmission between the cutting motor 21 (which can be used with a gearbox) and the cutting shaft 221 of the cutting head 2, as well as the installation and fixing of the cutting motor 21, are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The pneumatic power unit 51 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] When using this device, first install all components in place according to the above requirements. The pressing system 1 and cutting system 2 are integrated into the traveling platform, with the cutting system 2 located below the pressing system 1. The entire traveling platform is placed on the translation track 3. Move the traveling platform to a specific position (above the target frying unit). Before the system operates, the rotatable pressing head 15 is placed outside the pressing box 17. The meatball raw material mixture is placed inside the pressing box 17. Then, the pressing head 15 is rotated to the top of the pressing box 17. The pressing motor 16 and the cutting motor 21 are started. The pressing motor 16 drives the pressing transmission device to lower the pressing head 15 into the interior of the pressing box 17 (the pressing motor 16 drives the pressing screw 11 and the pressing force transmission carriage to move downwards 14), and squeezes the meatball raw material mixture inside the pressing box 17. The meatball raw material mixture exits from the pressing box 17. The extrusion nozzle 171 produces a row of extruded materials. The cutting head 22's cutting wires 223 rotate under the drive of the cutting motor 21, cutting the meatball raw material mixture extruded from the outlet 171 to form meatball blanks, which fall into the corresponding frying unit 4. Due to process reasons, the initially formed meatball blanks are not neat and full in shape. The meatball blanks can first fall into the receiving hopper 7, which is movably set below the pressing box 17. For example, the receiving hopper 7 can be detachably placed at the receiving hopper buckle 272 on the lower side of the platform bottom beam 27. Once the shape area of ​​the cut meatball blanks is stable, the receiving hopper 7 can be removed, and the meatball blanks fall directly into the frying chamber 41 of the corresponding frying unit 4. When all the meatball raw material mixture in a pressing box 17 has been extruded and cut into meatball blanks, the pressing motor and the cutting motor stop working for that batch. To optimize the frying effect of the meatballs, the meatball pressing grate 44 can be horizontally placed into the opening of the frying chamber 41 of the frying unit 4, so that the meatballs are completely submerged in the oil. The heating component 42 of the frying unit is then activated to fry the meatballs. Different batches of meatballs can be placed in different frying units 4 to achieve pulsed production of meatballs.

[0027] 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.
