Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, and specifically relates to a wonton forming claw. [Background technology]

[0002] The quick-frozen wontons produced in food factories are processed by machine, which effectively improves production efficiency, reduces production costs, and increases production volume. In the wonton production process, the closing process is extremely important because it directly determines the shape of the wontons.

[0003] Both the Chinese patent registration number CN210248150U, entitled "Wonton forming device," and the Chinese patent publication CN21381309U, entitled "Wonton closing device," describe arch-shaped forming claws driven by a rotating shaft. However, both of these forming claws rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft, and when closing, the forming claws pull strongly on part of the wrapper (at a position corresponding to the axis of the rotating shaft), which makes the wrapper prone to breakage and increases the rate of rejects.

[0004] Second, the above design has a mechanical closure point at the closure point, which creates lumps in the dough, affecting appearance and texture. The Chinese patent, publication number CN113080215A, entitled "Method for Forming Yuanbao Wontons," avoids this drawback by designing a program that mimics hand movements. However, only a complex program design, which requires individual drive of the forming jaws and pauses, can achieve a layered closure at the joint of the wrapper. This is relatively complex to implement and requires high maintenance requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a wonton forming claw that can reduce partial pulling of the wonton skin caused by the rotation of the forming claw, thereby reducing the rate of skin breakage. It also facilitates the formation of a stacked connection between the two forming claws, reducing the difficulty of driving the stacked connection, while ensuring the appearance of the edge of the wonton skin and the appearance of the closure, thereby realizing fast and stable production of high-quality food.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a wonton forming claw mounted on a driving rotary shaft, comprising a first forming claw and a second forming claw, the first and second forming claws comprising a connecting arm and a closing plate, the closing plate being attached to the lower part of the connecting arm, the upper end of the connecting arm being fixedly connected to the driving rotary shaft, and the vertical projection of the closing plate does not intersect with the axis of the driving rotary shaft.

[0007] The distances between the vertical projections of the closing plates of the two forming jaws and the axes of the corresponding drive rotary shafts are different to the extent that the ends of the two closing plates do not collide.

[0008] The closing plate and the connecting arm are integrally formed.

[0009] The closing plate and the connecting arm are fixedly connected.

[0010] The closure plate is mounted on the linkage arm offset from the axis of the linkage arm.

[0011] The connecting arm is attached to the rotary shaft at a position offset from the axis of the rotary shaft.

[0012] A stopper is provided between the connecting arm of the first forming jaw and the upper part of the closure plate, and the curvature of the stopper corresponds to the curvature of the lower closure plate.

[0013] The initial closed positions of the first and second molding jaws are symmetrical or nearly symmetrical.

[0014] The first and second forming jaws have front end portions that overlap when in the closed position.

[0015] The closure plate includes an integrally formed main body portion and a closure portion, the main body portion and the closure portion collectively forming an arched closure plate, and the first and second molding claws overlap the closure portions when in the closed position.

[0016] The closing portion of the first molding jaw is longer than the closing portion of the second molding jaw.

[0017] The curvature of the closing portion of the first molding jaw is smaller than the curvature of the closing portion of the second molding jaw.

[0018] The distance between the leading end and the trailing end of the closing plate of the first molding jaw is greater than the distance between the leading end and the trailing end of the closing plate of the second molding jaw.

[0019] The thickness of the closure gradually decreases from top to bottom. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] The arched forming claws of this invention have the following advantages: 1. By arranging the vertical projection of the closing plate so that it does not intersect with the axis of the corresponding drive rotary shaft, it is possible to effectively reduce the pulling of the forming claw on the leather as it rotates after installation. This solves the problem of the existence of a twist point corresponding to the rotary shaft in the conventional installation method, where the leather is highly susceptible to damage during rotation of the forming claw, thereby improving product quality; 2. Furthermore, by making better use of the above-mentioned eccentric installation, the vertical projection of the closing plate of the left and right forming claws is installed at different distances from the axis of the corresponding drive rotary shaft, allowing the two forming claws to close alternately and avoid collisions. This simplifies the alternate closing operation without the need for special closing programs such as pauses. This simplifies the drive structure of the equipment and expands the range of drive methods; 3. The closing operation achieved by the eccentric installation also ensures that the forming claws maintain a symmetrical or nearly symmetrical state when in the initial closing position. This ensures uniformity of the edges of the closed wontons and ensures the appearance of the wontons. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0021] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a second molding claw according to a first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the first molding claw according to the first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the cooperation between the first molding claw and the second molding claw according to the first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a forming claw according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] In the figure, there are a connecting arm 101, a closing plate 102, a drive rotation shaft 201, a stopper 103, a main body 104, and a closing part 105. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Example]

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the wonton-forming claws provided on the drive rotation shaft include a first forming claw and a second forming claw, the initial closing positions of the first and second forming claws are symmetrical or nearly symmetrical, the first and second forming claws include a connecting arm 101 and a closing plate 102, the closing plate 102 is integrally provided at the lower part of the connecting arm 101 (a fixed connection method, such as bolt fixing, may be adopted depending on the actual situation), and the upper end of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the drive rotation shaft 201.

[0024] The thickness of the closing plate 102 gradually decreases from top to bottom. When the forming claws are lifted, a relatively large space is left in the thicker part at the top. By slightly increasing the height, the forming claws are separated from the wontons, ensuring that the forming claws can be lifted smoothly. This prevents sticking and improves efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment, the closing plate 102 includes a main body 104 and a closing portion 105, which together form an arch-shaped closing plate, and the closing portions of the first and second molding claws overlap when closed. The closing portion of the first molding claw is longer than that of the second molding claw, and the curvature of the closing portion of the first molding claw is smaller than that of the second molding claw, both of which play a role in optimizing the layering of the leather.

[0026] The distance between the tip and the end of the closing plate of the first molding claw is greater than the distance between the tip and the end of the closing plate of the second molding claw, which can play a role in adjusting the coordination of the closing by both.

[0027] A stopper 103 is provided between the connecting arm 101 of the first shaping claw and the upper part of the closing plate 102. The curvature of the stopper 103 corresponds to the curvature of the lower closing plate, which can help the outer, unoverlapped part of the wrapper attached to the first shaping claw to fit onto the wonton body, ensuring effective closure.

[0028] The connecting arms of the first and second molding jaws are disposed on the rotation shaft at positions offset from the axis of the rotation shaft, and the offset distances are different, so that the vertical projection of the closing plate 102 does not intersect with the axis of the drive rotation shaft 201, and collisions do not occur when the two closing plates are linked together.

[0029] In use, when the first and second molding jaws close together, the front end portions of the arch-shaped plates of the two molding jaws are stacked and close alternately. Also, the offset distances between the connecting arms of the molding jaws and the axis of the drive rotation shaft are different so that the two molding jaws do not collide when they close together.

[0030] The working process is as follows: the stuffed wonton skin is folded in half at the corresponding position under each pair of forming claws, the forming claws descend to press the wonton, and the two forming claws in each pair rotate oppositely to stack and glue the two ends of the folded wonton skin. [Example]

[0031] The configuration of the forming jaws in this embodiment is the same as in the first embodiment, but the closing plate 102 is attached to the connecting arm 101 via a connecting step, offset from the axis of the connecting arm 101. In this case, the relationship between the connecting arm 101 and the rotating shaft 201 is more flexible, and they can be installed coaxially or with a moderate amount of eccentricity, so that the vertical projection of the closing plate 102 and the axis of the driving rotating shaft 201 do not intersect. This achieves the object of the present invention of protecting the leather and optimizing the stacking.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings and embodiments, it is understood by those skilled in the art that various specific embodiments formed by changing the specific parameters of the above embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of ordinary variations of the present invention, and therefore further details will not be provided here.
