Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional noodle pressing machines have limited functionality, unable to extrude multiple specifications of noodles and lack adjustability, resulting in singular and inflexible operation.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional noodle pressing machine with adjustable first and second pressing rollers, controlled by a knob-connected connection shaft, allowing for varying distances between rollers to produce dough sheets and noodles of different thicknesses, and additional rollers for specific noodle extrusion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional noodle pressing machines use a fixed pressing structure, then the machine structure is simple, but the machine cannot extrude multiple specifications of noodles and lacks adjustability
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing shaft is made adjustable through an adjustment assembly that includes a cam mechanism. The cam can rotate to different positions, dynamically changing the distance between the pressing shaft and driving shaft, thereby enabling the machine to extrude noodles of multiple specifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment assembly with the cam mechanism serves multiple functions: it adjusts the pressing distance for different noodle specifications, maintains structural compactness, and enables the single machine to perform multiple extrusion tasks, achieving multi-functionality.
2Manufacturing precision
If the noodle pressing machine uses a fixed pressing shaft position, then the machine structure is stable, but the machine cannot adjust noodle thickness specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing shaft position is made dynamically adjustable through the cam mechanism. By rotating the cam to different angular positions, the pressing distance can be precisely controlled, allowing operators to adjust noodle thickness specifications while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the noodle pressing machine has a compact structure, then the machine occupies less space, but the machine lacks adjustment functionality for different noodle specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The cam mechanism is integrated within the existing housing structure. The adjustment assembly is nested within the space between the pressing shaft and driving shaft, utilizing existing spatial relationships rather than adding external adjustment mechanisms, thereby maintaining compact machine volume while enabling adjustability.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a multifunctional noodle pressing machine, including a main housing and an upper cover, where a first pressing roller is rotatably connected within the main housing, a second pressing roller is disposed within the main housing, and the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller are spaced apart front and rear; the noodle pressing machine employs the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller to jointly roll and press dough sheets to thin them, and utilizes the deviation between an axis of a connection shaft and an axis of the second pressing roller by providing a knob and the connection shaft, thereby adjusting the distance between the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller through rotation of the knob, so as to extrude dough sheets of different thickness specifications with high adjustability, and an overall structure that is practical and reliable.
