Description

guni contains a receptacle for receiving cheese mass in the form of a tray 7 with an open top surface and a counterweight 10. Tray 7 is rotatably mounted by means of a mechanism made in the form of a pair of double-arm levers 12, at one end of which a turning head 9 with stop rollers is installed for its vertical motion using fixed

plates 16. At the other ends of the arms 12, the counterweights 13, 14 are movably mounted. The counterweight 13 balances the mass of tray 7, the swivel head 9 with its counterweight 10, and the counterweight 14 - the cheese mass in tray 7. The cheese mass coming from the melter to tray 7, cut off with a knife-cutter 1. When turning the tray 7, the syrup mass slides into the inserted mold 21. 5 Il.

The invention relates to the cheese industry of the dairy industry and is intended to improve the quality of dosing and the formation of molten cheese mass in the production of cheddarized cheese and melting of the cheese mass.

A device for dividing and forming a viscous doughy mass is known, which is used to mechanize the process of dividing and molding the curd in the production of Suluguni cheese. The device is made of a hopper, a dividing head consisting of a cylinder and a movable piston, a flap with a hole in the center, and the holes are cutting edges

The device works as follows.

Melted cheese dough is loaded into the bunker, the piston and cylinder drive are turned on. When rotated by 180 ° alternately, the piston is in the upper position, while moving down it pushes the curd from the cylinder into the mold, and as the piston descends, the space released above it is filled with another mass dose.

The disadvantage of the proposed device is the unreliability of the mass dosage due to the fact that the dosage occurs only due to the vacuum created by the downwardly moving piston and the gravitational forces of the cheese mass in the bunker, and the rather coarse consistency of the mass does not allow dosing in equal doses. In addition, increasing or decreasing the mass of the dosage requires replacing the cylinder and piston.

Also known is a machine for forming Suluguni cheese used to mechanize this process. The machine contains a cheese mass bunker, a metering device with a knife-cutter, a dosing pump vacuum system. The dosing device is made in the form of a detachable chamber equipped with a mechanism for opening it. The knife-cutter is installed between the chamber and the bunker.

The machine works as follows.

Melted into the hopper

cheese mass and include a vacuum pump.

In this case, both parts of the chamber are closed, and the hole in the knife-cutter is aligned with the suction hole. Sucked into the chamber with vacuum, the syrup reaches the stop and turns off the vacuum pump through a limit switch. The knife cuts off the curd mass and closes the suction opening, the movable part of the chamber is retracted and the head of the cheese falls into the cheese form.

The disadvantage of this machine is the unreliability of the operation of the forming device due to the use of a vacuum forming system. In addition, when changing in the direction of increasing or decreasing the mass of the dosage, the replacement

dosing chamber.

Also known is a plant for the production of Suluguni cheese, used to obtain molten curd mass, its dosage and shaping.

The installation contains a melting chamber in which a screw kneader is integrated. A mold head is attached to the kneader outlet, under which a rotary table is installed to feed the molds.

The installation works as follows.

The cheese mass is melted in the chamber and captured by counter rotating

kneader screws and fed to the outlet nozzle. Through the outlet and the conical diffuser mass is squeezed out

into the receiving chamber of the forming head.

The mass that fills the chamber acts on the flexible membrane, the movement of which causes the movement of the stem connected with it and the activation of the microswitch, issuing a signal to the dose segment and opening the dosing chamber. Mass falls into a substituted form. By means of a drive, the lower part of the dosing chamber is closed, the knife is returned to its original position and the cycle is repeated.

The disadvantage of the installation in the area of dosage and molding is an intense mechanical effect on the cheese mass in the closed volume of the dosing chamber and the impossibility of controlling the volume of the dose without replacing the chamber itself.

The purpose of the invention is to improve the quality of the dosage and the formation of molten curd mass due to its free flow from the melter outlet and the elimination of further mechanical effects on the mass.

This is possible only in the case when the mass enters an open container, the dosing chambers, including detachable chambers, limit the specified volume of the dose and thereby have a mechanical effect on the curd.

To achieve this goal, the device for dosing and shaping cheeses of the Suluguni type is provided with a container for receiving a curd tray with an open top surface and a counterweight, and its rotation mechanism is made in the form of a pair of double-arm levers, with a turning head at one end of the levers with thrust rollers, for its vertical movement with the help of a fixed plate, and on others - counterbalances are movably mounted, and the counterweight of one of the levers serves to balance the curd mass in the tray e, mounted on the swivel head, and the second - to balance the tray with its counterweight and the swivel head itself.

FIG. 1 shows the device, a general view; in fig. 2 is a diagram of the movement of the tray and the head; in fig. 3 is a view A of FIG. 2; in fig. 4 - tray head; in fig. 5 is a section BB in FIG. four.

The device contains (see Fig. 1) a knife 1 sliding along the guides of the base 2, which is mounted on the outlet of the melter 3 (melters). The knife 1 is set in motion by the pneumatic cylinder 4, the return stroke of the knife 1 is provided by a signal from the end switch (K K) 5 driven by the lever 6.

Tray 7 is fastened with screw 8 on the swivel head 9 and is balanced by counterweight 10.

The head 9 is mounted on the frame 11, which in turn is fixed on the lever mechanism 12. On the lever mechanism 12 there are two counterbalances, the counterweight 13 balances the mass of the tray 7, the head 9 and the counterweight 10. The second counterweight 14 balances the cheese mass tray 7.

On the rack 15 fixed lever mechanism 12, the fixed plate 16, VK17, VK 18.

5 On the plate 16 is installed, the emphasis 19.

The rack 15 is mounted on the table top 20. The table top 20 serves to supply empty and filled forms 21 with an asterisk 22 and a pneumatic actuator 23.

0 The swivel head 9 (see Figs. 4, 5) is assembled on an axis 24, which is fixed to the frame 11. The head consists of a left rotary part 25 rotating on bearings 26. The rotary part 25 has

5, four stop rollers 27, stop teeth 28, which engage with the pawls 29 mounted on the removable disk 30 of the right rotary part 31. The removable disk 30 is fixed against rotation by the screw 32.

0 Tray 7 and counterweight 10 are attached to the right rotary part 31.

The axis 24 at its right end carries the fixed lever 33 with an abutment 34 against which the tray 7 or

5 counterweight 10.

The device works as follows.

The molten mass of cheese through the pipe melter 3 enters the tray 7, when

This knife 1 is raised up. As tray 7 is filled, it begins to fall down, while the right-hand part 31, on which tray 7 and the counterweight 10 are fixed, is kept from turning by the dogs 29,

5 abutting against the stop teeth 28 of the left rotatable part 25, which in turn cannot turn, as its cut rollers 27 abut against the fixed plate 16, slides downward along it.

0 The rollers 27 can be cut in order to ensure more reliable scrolling relative to the plate 16, since they move not along a straight line, but along a radius equal to the length of the lever lever

5 mechanism 12.,

The amount of curd is controlled by the counterweight 14 within certain limits. The levers of the lever mechanism 12, as the head 9 is lowered, press the VC 18, while the rollers 27 continue to lean on the plate 16. In the K 18, a command is given to the pneumatic cylinder 4, which sharply lowers the knife 1, cutting off the dose of curd, while the pneumatic cylinder rod 4 acts on the lever 6, through him BK5. BK5 gives the command to raise the knife 1, which releases the melter nozzle 3.

Tray 7 with the cheese mass continues to move downwards by inertia and the rollers 27 roll the last minor part of the way along the fixed plate 16. As soon as the rollers 27 slide off the plate 16, the head 9 is no longer holding and under the action of the cheese mass it turns through some angle 90 °, until it stops 34. The curd slides into substitute form 21. The surface of the tray is made of materials such as fluoroplastic, plexiglass, etc.

As soon as the cheese mass has released tray 7, under the action of the counterweight 10, it returns to its original position, which also defines the stop 34. At the same time, under the action of the counterweight 13, the lever system 12 raises the head 9 to its original position. The lever of the system 12 presses B K 17, which gives the command to turn the sprocket 22 with the help of a pneumatic actuator 23.

The return of the left rotary part 25 to the initial position, i.e., such that the rollers 27 enter again in contact with the surface of the plate 16, proceeds as follows.

After the rollers 27 have slipped off the plate 16, the left turning part 25 simultaneously rotates with the right turning part 31 at the same angle as the tray 7, while the side of the square of the turning part 25 is at some angle to the plate 16, therefore when moving upward the end of the plate 16 rotates the turning part. 25 (in this example, clockwise if viewed from the side of the tray), and the upper stop rollers 27 lie on the surface of the plate 16 and move upwards all the way up to the stop 19. The pawls 29 attached to the disk 30 of the left rotary part 31 rotate freely relative to the stops 28,

since tray 7, when returned to its original position, rotates in the opposite direction (in this example counterclockwise).

Cheese mass, continuing to come from

the pipe of the melter 3 is picked up by the tray 7 and the cycle is repeated.

With a melting capacity of, for example 500 kg / h, one working cycle will be

compose 7.2 seconds when dosing and shaping Suluguni cheese with a calculated weight of 1 kg. When dosing the cheese, the Laminated Duty Cycle will be 14.4 s with a calculated mass of 2 kg.

The use of the proposed device allows to improve the quality of the dosage and molding by avoiding any mechanical effect on the curd mass released from the melter, i.e. the mass is not pressed into any closed volume either mechanically or vacuum or otherwise. ; use for dosing different calculated masses of cheese in the same tray without replacement.
