Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a konjac noodle processing and forming device. Background Technology

[0002] As a traditional Chinese staple food, dried noodles are loved by consumers for their convenience in carrying, storing and cooking. Traditional dried noodles are mainly made of wheat flour. In recent years, with the increasing demand for healthy food and the pursuit of diversification and functionality of noodle products, dried noodles with konjac as the main ingredient or with added konjac ingredients (i.e., konjac dried noodles) have gradually emerged.

[0003] The main component of konjac is glucomannan, a soluble dietary fiber that is low in calories and fat, and high in dietary fiber. It absorbs water and swells, increasing satiety and helping to control weight and blood sugar, while also benefiting gut health. Therefore, konjac noodles not only retain the traditional way of eating noodles but also have broad market prospects due to their health benefits.

[0004] Konjac noodles are favored by the market due to their low calories and high fiber content. However, the easy degradation of konjac glucomannan and the high viscosity of the material during processing lead to many technical defects in traditional forming devices. Traditional devices often use manual hand-held knives or simple mechanical cutting for forming and cutting. During cutting, the noodles are prone to displacement, resulting in large deviations in the cutting length. The cutting process is not synchronized with the conveying, which can easily lead to inconsistent cutting lengths of multiple noodles. Some products that are too short or too long need to be scrapped. There is a lack of positioning mechanism before cutting, resulting in loose noodles that are prone to breakage during cutting and a high rate of raw material waste. Therefore, to solve the above problems, we provide a konjac noodle processing and forming device. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution for a konjac noodle processing and forming device: A konjac noodle processing and forming device includes a main frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2 installed inside the main frame 1, a noodle forming mechanism 3 installed on the upper surface of the main frame 1, a slitting component 5 and a side pressure positioning mechanism 6 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main frame 1 on one side of the noodle forming mechanism 3, and the slitting component 5 is located in the middle of the side pressure positioning mechanism 6. The slitting component 5 includes a mounting base 51 fixedly connected to the main frame 1 and a rotary motor 52 fixedly connected to the mounting base 51. A rotary roller 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 52, and two slitting blades 54 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotary roller 53. The side-pressure positioning mechanism 6 includes a support frame 61 fixedly connected to the main frame 1, a drive cylinder 68 fixedly connected to the support frame 61, four guide sleeves 62 fixedly embedded in the support frame 61, and guide rods 63 slidably connected within the four guide sleeves 62. Two guide rods 63 are fixedly connected to a moving frame 65 at their bottom ends, and a guide roller 66 is rotatably connected inside the moving frame 65. The other two guide rods 63 are fixedly connected to a side-pressure plate seat 67 at their bottom ends. The output end of the drive cylinder 68 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the side-pressure plate seat 67. A transmission frame 64 is fixedly connected to the top ends of the four guide rods 63. Specifically, the rotating roller 53 and the slitting blade 54 are located on the side-pressure plate seat. Between roller 67 and guide roller 66, the cut noodles are made more regular. Moreover, the surfaces of rotating roller 53, slitting blade 54, side pressure plate seat 67 and guide roller 66 are all coated with Teflon, which can reduce the material adhesion rate during cutting and guiding. The main frame 1 provides a stable installation foundation for each mechanism. The conveying mechanism 2 realizes continuous conveying throughout the process. The noodle forming mechanism 3 completes the dough rolling and forming. The side pressure positioning mechanism 6 cooperates with the guide roller 66 through the drive cylinder 68, side pressure plate seat 67 to ensure that the noodles are conveyed regularly. The rotating motor 52 of the slitting component 5 drives the slitting blade 54 to achieve precise cutting.

Specifically, two guide cylinders are provided inside the conveying belt 22 to further ensure the stability of the conveying belt 22 when the cutting component 5 cuts, preventing the conveying belt 22 from collapsing. The air blower 7 works in conjunction with the air pump 8. The air blower 7 guides the airflow downwards at an angle, which can blow out airflow during the conveying and slitting of the noodles to remove impurities from the konjac flour and prevent impurities from sticking together and affecting the taste and appearance of the product. The airflow can also cool the freshly formed noodles, reduce the sticking between the noodles, and facilitate subsequent cutting and conveying. Moreover, the multiple conveyor rollers 21 of the conveying mechanism 2 support the conveyor belt 22 to ensure that the conveyor belt runs smoothly without collapsing and to prevent the noodles from shifting during conveying. The conveyor drive motor 23 directly drives the conveyor rollers 21, which is highly efficient in power transmission and ensures that the conveyor belt conveying speed is stable and precisely matched with the cutting frequency of the slitting component 5. The surface of the conveyor belt 22 is made of anti-slip material to increase the friction with the noodles and prevent the noodles from slipping and shifting during the conveying process.

[0022] In this embodiment, the noodle forming mechanism 3 includes an outer shell 31 fixedly connected to the main frame 1. Two upper rotating rods 32 are rotatably connected inside the outer shell 31 via bearings.

An upper motor 323 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer shell 31, and the output end of the upper motor 323 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the upper rotating rods 32. Specifically, the outer shell 31 of the noodle forming mechanism 3 provides protection and a mounting base for the pressing structure. The pressing rollers 322 of the two upper rotating rods 32 rotate synchronously through the meshing of the upper transmission gears 321, performing bidirectional and uniform pressing of the konjac dough to ensure consistent dough thickness and avoid uneven force distribution during single-roller pressing. The upper motor 323 provides stable power, and the pressing speed is adjustable to accommodate konjac dough of different hardnesses. The surface of the pressing rollers 322 is polished to reduce dough sticking.

[0023] In this embodiment, two lower rotating rods 33 are rotatably connected inside the outer casing 31 via bearings. A lower motor 333 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer casing 31. A forming cutter roller 332 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each lower rotating rod 33. Lower transmission gears 331 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both lower rotating rods 33, and the two lower transmission gears 331 are meshed together. The output end of the lower motor 333 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the lower rotating rods 33. Specifically, the two lower rotating rods 33 inside the outer casing 31 drive the forming cutter roller 332 to rotate, through... The lower transmission gear 331 meshes to achieve synchronous reverse rotation, and the gap between the cutter rollers is precise, resulting in konjac noodles with regular shape, no burrs, and no sticking. The lower motor 333 provides stable power to the forming cutter roller 332, and the forming speed can be adjusted in conjunction with the pressing speed and conveying speed. The blades of the forming cutter roller 332 are made of wear-resistant material and are precision machined. After long-term use, the blade shape will not wear, ensuring the stability of the noodle forming specifications. The forming cutter roller 332 with different blade specifications can be replaced according to needs to adapt to the processing of konjac noodles of different thicknesses, improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0024] In this embodiment, the noodle forming mechanism 3 also includes a dough guide feed hopper 34 fixedly connected to the outer shell 31, and the dough guide feed hopper 34 is located above the upper rotating rod 32. A main controller 4 is installed on the outer surface of the noodle forming mechanism 3. The main controller 4 is electrically connected to the upper motor 323, the lower motor 333, the transmission drive motor 23, the rotary motor 52 and the drive cylinder 68 through wires. Specifically, the dough guide feed hopper 34 of the noodle forming mechanism 3 is located above the upper rotating rod 32, guiding the konjac dough to fall precisely between the two pressing rollers 322, avoiding uneven pressing caused by feeding deviation. The inner wall of the feed hopper is made of a smooth material to reduce dough adhesion and ensure smooth feeding without residue. The main controller 4 of the noodle forming mechanism 3 realizes the electrical connection of each mechanism through wires, centrally controls the pressing speed, forming speed, conveying speed and cutting frequency, and ensures that the operation of each mechanism is synchronized. The main controller 4 adopts a PLC controller and is equipped with a touch operation interface. The parameter adjustment is intuitive and convenient, and multiple parameter schemes for noodle specifications can be preset.

[0025] Working principle: When using this konjac noodle processing and forming device, the user first places the main frame 1 in the designated position in the food processing workshop, adjusts the side pressure plate seat 67 and guide roller 66 to a suitable height under the action of the drive cylinder 68, turns on the main controller 4, and sets the pressing speed of the upper motor 323, the forming speed of the lower motor 333, the conveying speed of the conveyor drive motor 23, and the cutting frequency of the rotary motor 52 according to the specifications of the konjac noodles to be produced, such as a thickness of 1mm and a cutting length of 20cm. The prepared konjac noodle sheets are then poured out... The dough is fed into the dough guide hopper 34 of the noodle forming mechanism 3. The dough is guided by the hopper and falls between the two pressing rollers 322. The equipment is started with one key by the main controller 4. The upper motor 323 drives the pressing rollers 322 to rotate and roll the dough. The rolled dough enters between the two forming cutter rollers 332 below. The lower motor 333 drives the forming cutter rollers 332 to rotate synchronously and cut the dough into konjac noodles of a set thickness. The formed noodles fall onto the conveyor belt 22 of the conveying mechanism 2 and are conveyed forward with the conveyor belt. When the noodles are conveyed to the side pressure positioning mechanism 6, the drive cylinder 68 pushes the side pressure plate seat 67 down to the appropriate position. At the same time, when the shaped noodles are conveyed to the cutting component 5, its rotary motor 52 drives the rotary roller 53 to drive the cutting blade 54 to rotate. The rotation speed of the cutting blade 54 is precisely matched with the conveying speed, cutting the noodles into segments of a set length. The guide roller 66 is used to side-press and arrange the noodles to ensure that multiple noodles are arranged neatly without deviation. At the same time, the air pump 8 blows air through the air blower 7 to clean the surface of the guide roller 66 and prevent sticking. The cut konjac noodles are then conveyed to the collection device at the end by the conveyor belt.
