RU2341777C2 - Batcher of flour conditioner of dough-mixing machine - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to the means of free-flowing materials batching, namely flour conditioners in the baking industry. The batcher has a bunker with a sieve and a flap, a turner in the form of the blades placed on horizontal shaft of the bunker. The bunker consists of two sides having sulcate stainless steel sheet attached to them and the turner has three blades. Thus the horizontal shaft on which three blades are placed is connected byn means of the crank-type conrod mechanism to the batcher shaft of the dough-mixing machine. The quantity of batched flour conditioners of the dough-mixing machine is regulated by increase or reduction of the number of sieve openings by means of the flap, by increase or reduction of a rotation angle of a turner, by change of the length of crank-type conrod mechanism levers.

EFFECT: exact and continuous batching of conditioner, even distribution and a possibility to change the quantity of the conditioner depending on the quantity of flour.

Description

The invention relates to a device for dispensing bulk materials, namely flour improvers, and can be used in the baking industry on a continuous kneading machine.

For the preparation of bakery products, it is sometimes necessary to mix flour with a small amount of improvers to improve the quality of the products. When kneading dough on a continuous kneading machine, it is necessary to dispense the improvers in precisely defined doses. For dosing the required amount of improver, depending on the amount of flour, which is processed in conjunction with the dough mixer, dosing devices are used.

Known dispenser of improvers (RF Patent No. 2221992, CL. G01F 11/00, publ. 2004), which contains a hopper with a feed hole, a tedder placed inside the hopper, a drive shaft of the tedder, a vertical metering channel, inside which a screw is placed, a shaft the drive of which is located inside the drive shaft of the agitator. The dispenser is controlled by a dispensing control device.

However, this device has a complex structure, low metering accuracy, and also cannot change the dosage of the improver.

Also known marking device (dispenser) (US Patent No. 1814488, publ. 1931), which is used for applying boundary lines with dry lime on the grounds for tennis courts. The device consists of a hopper, which contains the front and rear walls, sides and a narrowed base, made up of two parts that form a funnel with an open adjustable hole connected to the mixing mechanism.

The design of the marked device is similar to the design of the inventive dispenser, however, this design is intended only for applying lines, allows you to change the dosage depending on the required line width and cannot be used for dosing flour improvers for the dough mixer.

The most similar in design to the proposed invention is a dry feed dispenser (RF Patent No. 2179801, class A01K 5/02; G01F 11/24, 11/34, 11/46), which is used in a device for wetting dry feed. The dry feed dispenser contains a hopper with a loading hole, the lower part of which is made in the form of a sieve with a shutter and a agitator, which is a blade placed on a shaft that is placed horizontally inside the hopper.

Such a device is designed for dispensing dry feed, works together with a device for moistening bulk feed, and also cannot be used for dispensing improvers due to the low accuracy of dosing.

The invention has set the task to ensure the possibility of accurate, continuous dosing of flour improvers in accordance with the dough mixing machine, their uniform distribution and the ability to change the dosage depending on the quality and quantity of flour.

The problem is solved in that in the dispenser of flour improvers of a kneading machine, which contains a hopper with a loading hole and a tedder, the lower part of the hopper is made in the form of a sieve with a shutter, the tedder is a blade placed on a horizontal shaft inside the hopper, according to the invention, the hopper is formed by a grooved sheet with stainless steel, the agitator contains at least three blades placed on the shaft with the ability to control the angle of rotation and the distance to the sieve surface, the shaft is connected by a connecting rod th mechanism shaft unloader kneading machine.

Due to the connection of the metering shaft through the connecting rod mechanism with the shaft of the unloading device of the dough mixing machine, the dosing unit operates in accordance with the dough mixing machine and does not stop, thus providing non-stop dosing. The execution of the agitator in the form of blades on the shaft, the distance of which to the surface of the sieve and the angle of rotation of the blades can be adjusted, makes it possible to establish a certain necessary proportion of improver that will pass through the sieve. The proportion of improver can also be adjusted manually by closing a portion of the sieve with a damper.

Figure 1 shows a dispenser in section; figure 2 - hopper with a agitator placed in it; figure 3 is a section along aa in figure 1.

The flour improver dispenser of the kneading machine contains a hopper 1 formed by a gutter-shaped sheet made of stainless steel, the lower part of the gutter-shaped sheet is made in the form of a sieve 3 with grooves 2, into which the shutter 4 is inserted. Inside the hopper 1 there is a agitator, which is three blades 5 placed on horizontal shaft 6 with the ability to control the angle of rotation and the distance to the surface of the sieve 3. The shaft 6 is connected by a connecting rod mechanism 7 to the shaft 8 of the unloading device of the dough mixer. The blades 5 move inside the hopper 1 and make the improver pour through the openings of the sieve 3. The agitator moves with the help of the connecting rod mechanism 7, which transfers it from the shaft of the unloading device of the dough mixing machine.

The dispenser works as follows.

An improver is poured into hopper 1. Using the connecting rod mechanism 7, the movement of the shaft 8 of the unloading device of the dough mixing machine is transmitted to the shaft 6 of the agitator 7. The shaft 6 is rotated and rotates the blades 5 by a certain angle, which pass the required amount (set dose) of improver through the sieve 3 into the dough mixing machine. The amount of improver, depending on the quality and quantity of flour, is regulated by drawing closer or moving the blades 5 to the surface of the sieve 3, increasing or decreasing the number of openings of the sieve 3 using the shutter 4, increasing or decreasing the angle of rotation of the agitator, changing the length of the levers of the connecting rod mechanism 7.

The proposed device can be used on all types of continuous kneading machines and allows you to conveniently control the amount of dosing.

Claims (1)

Doser of flour improvers for a kneading machine, which contains a hopper with a sieve and a shutter, a tiller in the form of blades placed on a horizontal shaft in the hopper, characterized in that the hopper consists of two walls to which a stainless steel groove sheet is attached, the tedder has three blades, the horizontal shaft, on which the three blades are placed, is connected by a crank mechanism to the dosing shaft of the dough mixing machine, while the number of dosed flour improvers of the dough mixing machine is controlled by increasing or by decreasing the number of sieve openings with a shutter, increasing or decreasing the angle of rotation of the agitator by changing the length of the levers of the crank mechanism.
