Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a dumpling filling supply device. Background Technology

[0002] Steamed buns, an ancient Chinese pastry, are a microcosm of Eastern culinary wisdom. Their essence lies in the perfect combination of dough and filling—the soft dough locks in the savory juices of the filling while allowing it to breathe during steaming, creating a uniquely soft and tender texture. The fillings are incredibly diverse, ranging from the rich meat fillings of the north to the sweet vegetarian fillings of the south, from traditional red bean paste and seafood fillings to innovative custard and spicy fillings. Each one is a flavor profile reflecting its regional characteristics. To improve efficiency, filling feeding equipment is typically used during the bun-making process.

[0003] However, existing technologies have some problems: When using existing filling supply equipment, the filling is usually added to the material tank and then squeezed by a screw rod or pusher plate to discharge the filling from the discharge port, thus achieving automatic filling supply. However, this method is often not precise enough and it is difficult to achieve quantitative feeding, resulting in different amounts of filling inside the buns of the same batch and poor uniformity, which affects the quality of bun production. Therefore, we propose a filling supply equipment for buns. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a steamed bun filling supply device. By setting up a cylinder, a pusher plate, and a drive assembly, it can achieve quantitative feeding and improve the uniformity of the same batch of steamed buns.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A steamed bun filling supply device includes a base, a material bucket fixedly installed on the top of the base, a discharge cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the material bucket, a feeding component inside the material bucket for extruding the steamed bun filling in the material bucket, a conveying pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge cylinder, a cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying pipe, a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder, a first electric valve installed on the conveying pipe, a second electric valve installed on the discharge pipe, a push plate movably installed inside the cylinder, the push plate being connected to the base via a drive component, and the push plate being able to extrude the steamed bun filling in the cylinder via the drive component.

The output shaft of the stepper motor is connected to a rotating shaft via a coupling. The bottom end of the rotating shaft extends into the discharge hopper, and an auger blade is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0007] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a frame, which is fixedly mounted on a base. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0008] Optionally, a washer is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the push plate, and the surface of the washer abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0009] Optionally, the cylinder has a through hole, and a light-transmitting plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the through hole.

[0010] Optionally, an electric push rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame, and a push-pull block is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod.

[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. 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.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a bun filling supply device, including a base 1, a material barrel 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a discharge cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the material barrel 2, a feeding component inside the material barrel 2 for extruding the bun filling in the material barrel 2, a conveying pipe 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge cylinder 3, a cylinder 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying pipe 4, a discharge pipe 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 5, a first electric valve 7 installed on the conveying pipe 4, a second electric valve 8 installed on the discharge pipe 6, a push plate 9 movably installed inside the cylinder 5, the push plate 9 being connected to the base 1 through a drive component, and the push plate 9 being able to extrude the bun filling in the cylinder 5 through the drive component.

[0021] In use, staff can adjust the positions of the two push plates 9 according to the filling supply needs of a single batch, thereby adjusting the effective volume inside the cylinder 5. Then, the first electric valve 7 is opened and the second electric valve 8 is closed. The filling inside the material bucket 2 is fed into the cylinder 5 through the feeding component, filling the effective volume inside the cylinder 5. Then, the second electric valve 8 is opened and the first electric valve 7 is closed. The two push plates 9 are moved towards each other through the driving component, discharging a fixed amount of filling from the cylinder 5 through the discharge pipe 6. This achieves a fixed amount of filling and improves the uniformity of the same batch of buns.

[0022] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a stepper motor 10, which is fixedly installed on the top of the material hopper 2. The output shaft of the stepper motor 10 is connected to a rotating shaft 11 via a coupling. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 11 extends into the discharge cylinder 3, and an auger blade 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 11.

[0023] By starting the stepper motor 10, the staff can make the rotating shaft 11 drive the auger blade 12 to rotate, thereby squeezing the filling in the material bucket 2 into the cylinder 5 for subsequent quantitative supply of filling.

[0024] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a frame 13, which is fixedly mounted on the base 1. A servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the frame 13. The output shaft of the servo motor 14 is connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 15 via a coupling. Slide rods 16 are threaded onto both sides of the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 15. A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 16. The other end of the slide rod 16 extends into the inside of the cylinder 5 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 9.

[0025] By activating the servo motor 14, the bidirectional threaded rod 15 can be rotated, which in turn causes the two slide rods 16 to drive the two connecting rods 17 to move in opposite directions. This, in turn, causes the two push plates 9 to move in opposite directions, thereby squeezing the filling inside the cylinder 5 into the discharge pipe 6 and discharging it, thus achieving a quantitative supply of filling.

[0026] Furthermore, a washer 18 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the push plate 9, and the surface of the washer 18 abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 5.

[0027] The washer 18 can be made of food-grade silicone. Because the washer 18 is soft and elastic, it can fit tightly against the inner wall of the cylinder 5, thereby improving the scraping effect of the filling adhering to the inner wall of the cylinder 5.

[0028] Furthermore, a through hole 19 is provided on the cylinder 5, and a light-transmitting plate 20 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the through hole 19.

[0029] The design of the light-transmitting plate 20 makes it easy for staff to observe the filling inside the cylinder 5 and the position of the push plate 9, so as to make adjustments as needed.

[0030] Furthermore, an electric push rod 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame 13, and a push-pull block 22 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 21. A vertical plate 23 is slidably connected to the frame 13, and an oblique hole 24 is opened on the vertical plate 23. A round block 25 located inside the oblique hole 24 is fixedly installed on the push-pull block 22. A cutting plate 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical plate 23, and the other end of the cutting plate 26 extends to the bottom of the discharge pipe 6.

[0031] After the filling is discharged from the cylinder 5, the electric push rod 21 is activated, which causes the push-pull block 22 to drive the round block 25 to move downward, thereby squeezing the inner wall of the inclined hole 24, causing the two vertical plates 23 to drive the two cutting plates 26 to move towards each other, thereby cutting the filling and realizing the feeding work.

[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: In use, the operator can start the servo motor 14 to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 15 according to the single filling supply needs, adjust the position of the two push plates 9, thereby adjusting the effective volume inside the cylinder 5, then open the first electric valve 7 and close the second electric valve 8, start the stepper motor 10, which can make the rotating shaft 11 drive the auger blade 12 to rotate, thereby squeezing the filling in the material bucket 2 into the cylinder 5, filling the effective volume inside the cylinder 5, then open the second electric valve 8, close the first electric valve 7, start the servo motor 14, which can make the bidirectional threaded rod 15 rotate The movement of the two sliding rods 16 causes the two connecting rods 17 to move towards each other, which in turn causes the two push plates 9 to move towards each other, thus squeezing the filling inside the cylinder 5 into the discharge pipe 6 and discharging it, achieving a quantitative supply of filling. Then, the electric push rod 21 is activated, which causes the push-pull block 22 to move the round block 25 downward, thereby squeezing the inner wall of the inclined hole 24, causing the two vertical plates 23 to move towards each other, thereby cutting the filling and realizing the feeding operation. This achieves a quantitative supply of filling and improves the uniformity of the same batch of buns.

[0033] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
