Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean product processing and cleaning technology, and in particular to a soaking and washing device for soybean product processing. Background Technology

[0002] Soy products are foods made from soybeans, mung beans, green beans, peas, broad beans, and other legumes as the main raw materials. Soaking and washing soybean products is a key pre-treatment step in soybean product processing. Soaking and washing can remove mud, impurities, and some microorganisms from the surface of the beans, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the raw materials. In addition, soaking and washing can also soften the outer skin of soybeans, making them easier to process later.

[0003] A search revealed a soaking device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221887630U. This invention includes a soaking tank and a support plate. The support plate is mounted on the top of one side of the soaking tank, and an impurity removal mechanism is installed between the soaking tank and the support plate. A cleaning and stirring mechanism is installed inside the soaking tank. The impurity removal mechanism includes a first motor, a threaded rod, a bearing, a first mounting bracket, a movable frame, a filter screen, a smooth rod, and a second mounting bracket. Through the structural design of the impurity removal mechanism, this invention allows the device to clean floating impurities by starting the first motor, which drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the movable frame and filter screen to slide on the outer surface of the smooth rod. This improves the cleanliness and efficiency of the device. Furthermore, through the structural design of the cleaning and stirring mechanism, the device uses a second motor to rotate a rotating rod inside the soaking tank, achieving thorough cleaning of the soybeans during soaking.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the following problems were found with the above-mentioned soaking device: In order to facilitate the collection of floating bean husks and stalks by driving the filter screen, the existing technology can only install the transmission rod for stirring at the bottom of the soaking tank. This causes water inside the soaking tank to easily overflow from the connection between the transmission rod and the soaking tank after a long period of rotation, requiring frequent maintenance. Moreover, this structure means that the soybeans inside the soaking tank can only be unloaded from the side of the soaking tank, which is inconvenient during unloading. At the same time, the existing technology can only collect floating bean husks and stalks when the soaking tank is full of clean water. When washing a small amount of soybeans and the water inside the soaking tank is low, it is inconvenient to collect the floating bean husks and stalks. Based on this, this utility model designs a soaking and washing device for bean product processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a soaking and washing device for processing soybean products, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the potential for water leakage at the bottom, the inconvenience of unloading soybeans inside, and the inconvenience of collecting floating soybean shells and stalks when washing a small amount of soybeans.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a soaking and washing device for processing soybean products, comprising a washing tank, a fixed side plate installed on the inner wall of the washing tank, and a stirring shaft rotatably connected to the fixed side plate;

[0007] A lifting assembly is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank. A support column is connected to the lifting assembly. A fixed crossbar is installed at the top of the support column.

The support sleeve is slidably engaged with the stirring shaft. A collection box is installed on the side wall of the support sleeve.

[0008] A discharge butterfly valve is installed on the bottom outer wall of the cleaning tank.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a drive motor is installed on the top outer wall of the fixed side plate, and an active helical gear is connected to the output end of the drive motor. A driven helical gear is installed at one end of the stirring shaft, and the active helical gear meshes with the driven helical gear.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a guide rod is installed on the top outer wall of the lifting plate, and the guide rod is slidably engaged with the fixed side plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a rotary motor is installed on the top outer wall of the lifting plate, and a drive pulley is connected to the output end of the rotary motor. A driven pulley is installed on the side wall of the support sleeve, and the drive pulley is connected to the driven pulley via a transmission belt.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the cleaning tank is equipped with a drain valve, and the drain valve has a filter plate inside.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a fixed base located on the side wall of the cleaning tank. A ball screw is rotatably connected to the fixed base, and a lifting plate is connected to the ball screw via a ball nut. The lifting plate is connected to the support column, and guide columns are respectively installed on the fixed base. The lifting plate is slidably engaged with the guide columns.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The lifting component moves the support column, thereby adjusting the height of the collection box so that it is exactly at the same level as the water surface. Therefore, the device can effectively clean up bean curd skins at different water levels.

[0016] 2. By opening the discharge butterfly valve, the soybeans inside the cleaning tank can be directly discharged. Therefore, this device can not only effectively stir the soybeans inside the cleaning tank, but also prevent the water inside the cleaning tank from overflowing from the bottom, and also facilitate the discharge of the soybeans inside the cleaning tank.

[0022] 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.

[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4The illustrated washing device for processing soybean products includes a washing tank 1 with a conical bottom. A fixed side plate 2 is installed on the inner wall of the washing tank 1, and a stirring shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the fixed side plate 2. When using this device, soybeans are first placed inside the washing tank 1, and then a certain amount of water is injected. The stirring shaft 3 then rotates to stir the soybeans inside the washing tank 1, preventing them from accumulating at the bottom. A lifting assembly 4 is installed on the outer wall of the washing tank 1, and a support column 5 is connected to the lifting assembly 4. A fixed crossbar 6 is installed at the top of the support column 5, and a lifting rod 7 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the fixed crossbar 6. A lifting plate 8 is installed at the bottom of the lifting rod 7, and a support sleeve 9 is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 8. The support sleeve 9 is slidably engaged with the stirring shaft 3, and the inner diameter of the support sleeve 9 is larger than the outer diameter of the stirring shaft 3. A collection box 10 is installed on the side wall of the support sleeve 9. When it is necessary to clean floating soybean skins, the collection box 10 is lifted by the lifting assembly 4. The lowering component 4 drives the support column 5 to move, which in turn allows the lifting rod 7 to move the lifting plate 8 up and down, thereby moving the collection box 10 up and down. This allows the collection box 10 to be adjusted to the exact height of the water surface, and then the support sleeve 9 to rotate, allowing the collection box 10 to rotate and clean the bean skins floating on the water surface. Therefore, by adjusting the height of the collection box 10, this device can clean bean skins at different water heights. A discharge butterfly valve 15 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the washing tank 1. When it is necessary to discharge the soybeans inside the washing tank 1, the discharge butterfly valve 15 is opened first. Since the bottom of the washing tank 1 is conical, the soybeans inside the washing tank 1 can be directly discharged from the position of the discharge butterfly valve 15. Therefore, this device can not only effectively stir the soybeans inside the washing tank 1, but also facilitate the discharge of the soybeans inside the washing tank 1, and at the same time, it can also prevent the water inside the washing tank 1 from overflowing from the bottom when soaking the soybeans.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a drive motor 12 is installed on the top outer wall of the fixed side plate 2. A drive helical gear 13 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 12. A driven helical gear 14 is installed at one end of the stirring shaft 3. The drive helical gear 13 and the driven helical gear 14 are meshed and connected. The drive motor 12 drives the drive helical gear 13 at its output end to rotate, so that the driven helical gear 14 can drive the stirring shaft 3 to rotate. This allows the stirring shaft 3 to stir the soybeans inside the cleaning tank 1, which helps to prevent soybeans from accumulating at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, a guide rod 11 is installed on the top outer wall of the lifting plate 8. The guide rod 11 is slidably engaged with the fixed side plate 2. The guide rod 11 can guide the lifting plate 8, which helps to improve the stability of the lifting plate 8 when it moves up and down.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, a rotary motor 20 is installed on the top outer wall of the lifting plate 8. A drive pulley 16 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 20. A driven pulley 17 is installed on the side wall of the support sleeve 9. The drive pulley 16 is connected to the driven pulley 17 through a transmission belt. The rotary motor 20 drives the drive pulley 16 at its output end, thereby enabling the driven pulley 17 to drive the support sleeve 9 to rotate.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a drain valve 19 is installed on the cleaning tank 1. A filter plate 18 is installed inside the drain valve 19. By opening the drain valve 19, the sewage inside the cleaning tank 1 can be discharged quickly. And through the filter plate 18, it helps to prevent soybeans from flowing out from the drain valve 19.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly 4 includes a fixed base 401 located on the side wall of the cleaning tank 1. A ball screw 402 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 401. The ball screw 402 is connected to a lifting plate 403 via a ball nut. The lifting plate 403 is connected to the support column 5. Guide columns 404 are respectively installed on the fixed base 401. The lifting plate 403 is slidably engaged with the guide columns 404. A servo motor is installed on one of the fixed bases 401. The servo motor is connected to one end of the ball screw 402 via a transmission mechanism. The servo motor can drive the ball screw 402 to rotate, thereby enabling the ball screw 402 to drive the lifting plate 403 to move up and down, and thus drive the support column 5 to move.

[0029] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a soaking and washing device for processing soybean products. Soybeans are placed inside the washing tank 1 and a certain amount of clean water is injected. Then, the stirring shaft 3 rotates to stir the soybeans inside the washing tank 1. When it is necessary to clean the floating soybean skins, the lifting component 4 first drives the support column 5 to move, so that the lifting rod 7 can drive the lifting plate 8 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the collection box 10 so that the collection box 10 is exactly at the same height as the water surface. Then, the support sleeve 9 can be driven to rotate, so that the collection box 10 can rotate to clean the floating soybean skins on the water surface. Therefore, this device can effectively clean soybean skins at different water heights.

[0030] When it is necessary to unload the soybeans inside the cleaning tank 1, the unloading butterfly valve 15 is opened. Since the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 is conical, the soybeans inside the cleaning tank 1 can be directly unloaded. Therefore, this device can not only effectively stir the soybeans inside the cleaning tank 1, but also prevent the water inside the cleaning tank 1 from overflowing from its bottom, and also facilitate the unloading of the soybeans inside the cleaning tank 1.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
